The saga of the big three American automakers..
It appears that GM, Ford, and DCX has resorted to fire sales on their vehicles. Employee discount, as they keep trying to say.

My question is: If the big 3 are having such a rough economic time, why can't the damn sheeple in this country figure this out! I mean, damn, what the hell else is it going to take?

To digress, I really loathe the Daimler Chrysler commercials. Jason Alexander makes my skin crawl AND THEY HAD TO DRAG OUT IACOCCA!!

Yuk.

Just my $0.02.

1. The sheeple paniced the last time the gas prices went sky hi.
People went into gas saving mode. The sheeple are dumb enough to jump on SUV's the minute the gas prices came back down.

Now you would think the car companies would have a little foresight and go for fuel economy. I even saw ads for electric cars. But the sheeple went for the "safe" SUV's. Big car = big ego = big whatever. For women, big car = safety. Everyone involved has dug their own "grave".
