If the big 3 fail, will the supply of vehicles into the market not be provided by Toyota and other manufacturers (Hyundai, Honda, BMW etc) based in the US? These companies seem to be doing well in the US and would probably expand if Foord and co were to go under.

But the thought of so many good people out of work is truly devastating. Amid all the clamor, I hear little of the successful US based manufacturers.

Dave That is true, regarding the imports...but that is the key word.....imports...keep the US manufacturer going....the problem here is the UAW, it is bleeding the Big 3 dry, the avg worker at the import plants(non union) makes 28.00 per hour and when was the last time they had labor issues....the avg UAW worker 70.00+ per hour and when the plnat suspends the line and sends the workers home they still get paid....it seems whenever they go on strike they get more and more and more...
