They've been destroying jobs for years to keep the CEO's and share holders happy. Now they want a hand out. They've done nothing but build bigger & less efficient vehicles because they're was no regulation to force them to do otherwise. Lease deals to entice people into vehicles they couldn't otherwise afford. I started to see it 4 years ago. The calls from Mercedes Credit, VW Credit,etc looking for client's vehicles have been on a sharp increase. In my dealings with these financial institutions as well as a few repo men that have shown up at my dealerships, the dealership is the second place they look. If the car happens to be here, they just show up with the repo order and take the car. I myself have received nearly 2 dozen calls in the last 5 months from both the lenders and repo men. I just got another call 15 minutes ago looking for a client's A6. I know a few guys that work with "Big 3" service departments who have the same situations with cars ranging from Town & Country's to Corvettes....

I'm really on the fence as to whether it's a good idea. It's like we're saying that there should be no repercussions to corporations for making bad financial decisions but people caught up in the sub-prime fiasco "deserve what they get."
