That may be true for some folks. However I just bought a 2006 530i. The money I paid for it i could have bought 2 American cars. Why didn't i? Was it because $1500-$2000 of every car goes to paying the union members health care and pension for the rest of their lives? NO. I didn't find anything that i thought measured up to my dollar. Why not just build a better product that people are willing to buy then you can pay your bills and stop whining about what it's costing you to do business. I agree that American Auto Makers Need to pull together their business model but it's all a lot of talk until you make a product that someone wants to buy.
