Decades, I fear.

It took decades to destroy Detroit, and it will take equally long to bring it back. The auto business is bit like a glacier . . . very slow moving.

I'm afraid Detroit is like a glacier and this import 'trend' is like global warming.......one can plainly see there is no way to build the glacier back up

Yes the big 3 is losing market share, but keep in my there are now more foreign car companies in the race and there are also more vehicles that are competing for that same market. Its not like a decade ago when there wasn't 18 different lines of Toyota's or 12 different lines of Honda's or Hyundai and Kia was non-existant. Competition is now a lot diffeerent. Gm is getting there market share back together, but Ford and Chrysler are still struggling this happens and it will continue to happen. The idea is that it doesn't erode the companies that brought to this point in the U.S.. thank you for your support and any one against may god forgive your soul. j/k

It's not so much the product their building as it's the overall economy. The stock market might be doing fine but that is not doing much for the average American worker. First we have the mortage/credit mess and then the price of fuel, food, and just about everything else is going up. Something has to give and it's the big ticket items like cars that get hurt first....
