    Correct but the Chinese are winning, we got dicks in our hands and nothing else to show besides national debt at 100k per head

    We started in stronger position too…

    Where did all the money go?!?

      Don’t forget about cheap labor over there, economies of scale with the large Chinese market, and with a very different regulatory environment. The American auto industry has an uphill battle ahead of them.

      Not to excuse the lack of innovation here, I personally blame the trend of wealth extraction for executive pay and shareholder returns at the expense of long term thinking and reduced R&D spending.
