Very well said. Many of these points I have been stating in letters to my reps. in DC and in other forums.

Most of the people making decisions that are going to affect the vehicles we will be making: 1. Many don't drive American cars, 2. Never worked in the auto industry in any capacity, not to mention a real private sector job, 3. Have not studied anything about what is involved in the production of a car and the unique behavior of the automobile business, and 4. Don't realize that when they claim the US makers don't produce the cars people want, many of us know better, trucks and SUV's were being made because that's what people wanted. In fact, they sold so well that the import manufacturers developed their own full-sized trucks and SUVs to get part of that market. But, the media and reps in DC don't want to admit the truth since it doesn't fit into the agenda they want to push down our throats.
