They've lost, by their own admission, two generations of buyers.<BR/><BR/>It's the way they do business. Shopping for a car is a worse experience than getting a root canal. And car-salesmen are liked even less than ad people.<BR/><BR/>Apple is a loved company. Their products are not necessarily better than those made by others. But their business tone and manner has made them a winning proposition.george tannenbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974259094860905139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-70135117813659035422009-02-18T11:27:00.000-05:002009-02-18T11:27:00.000-05:00Bun - I'd love to know about these American car co...Bun - I'd love to know about these American car companies with vision you speak of. <BR/><BR/>geo, sorry, you're off-based with some of your comments - GM and Chrysler, as well as Ford, have come a LONG way in the past few years on their products and I would say that almost all of them are competitive with their competition. The problem they're having is changing twenty years of bad PR, bad cars and people refusing to give them a chance. They'll get there but its going to take time, money and restructuring. <BR/><BR/>If you believe that only these companies are struggling, you need to open your eyes - companies all over Europe and Japan are asking for loans/bailouts from their governments too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08725777804108073916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-65561397993341926772009-02-18T09:21:00.000-05:002009-02-18T09:21:00.000-05:00for once i think you are being too easy on the aut...for once i think you are being too easy on the auto industry. if for one second I decided not to keep up- not to learn a new software, or to just decide that i would ignore what is happening in the world, where would i be? probably out of a job. It's the same thing with the auto industry-why should we bailout companies that have gone the way of the dinosaur? It doesn't make sense. Let's invest in american car companies with vision- they are out there. www.getkurrent.comTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728995368133797891noreply@blogger.com
