I agree with you about the unions. Heard the other day that the UAW was hanging tough with GM. So much better to keep your benefits intact with no job than to lose a few benefits and have a job. I don't know what planet the Union people live on.

You know, I am very optimistic about the US car makers. I think they have the ability to build cars that will last, will appeal to the markets and can look like something. I think there is a lot of potential in electric cars and hybrids. But they are going to have to do a good job in marketing them and educating the public.

And Lamont, don't get me wrong. I love my Honda. It's my 4th one and I keep them on an average of 8 years. My Accord has 92,000 miles on it and my only complaint with it is how dinged up it is from parking in parking garages.
