Re: Germans & Big 3 go the same route

Quote:
As the German companies have gotten in to trouble, their government has financially helped them out.
Any specific example?

Quote:
What have the Germans done different than the American makes in the past 25 years?
1. Both pushed for SUVs (so did the Japanese due to high profits)
The German makes, save for Opel and the Mercedes (or actually Steyr-Daimler-Puch) Gelandewagen, have not been actively marketing SUVs until a decade or so ago.

Quote:
5. Though they pushed for diesels, they have not given the US the # of vehicles that have been asked for.
Care to elaborate?
