I agree that the US car makers are drowning in red ink, but the truth is that US car makers are doing a lot better at making reliable cars. We have to keep in mind that the US car makers pump out hundreds of thousands of cars a year while the European manufacturers produce far less. Ironically, the reliability of the Euro cars, and some japanese cars, are being passed by the US manufacturers. That is not to say that the non-US cars are getting worse, not at al, the US manufacturers are just doing better.
That being said, Roger Penske needs to be hired as the next CEO of GM. He turned Detroit Diesel around in under 5 years, from a 3% market share when GM owned them to a 30% share, and he did it by competing with Cummins!
