so here's my whole deal on this thing (since I started it). What nobody is really saying is that no one is buying these units. Why? the answer is many fold but my guess is that 1) Detroit built/sold junk for many years with no competition 2) Americans bought this junk as it was traditional 3) Fuel flucutuates from decade to decade and we Americans are not very smart when it comes to that type of forethinking 4) Finally, show me a 1988 Chevy Cavalier and a 1990 Pontiac station wagon still running and are worth a crap...you won't find them....I have a 1988 BMW 325iC with 172K miles on it and a 1990 300TE with 135K and I would drive either one of them to my house in New Mexico today from Chicago right this minute...they both run and look great....that's the difference...quality..and the Big 3 got themselves into this regretable position of having to sell a Ford Taurus or Chevy Cavalier or whatever for the same price as a BMW 325 or MB C320. The overhead is killing the Big 3..... no one is buying these cars because they cost too much....compared to what else you get for roughly the same amount...that's the problem....
