The LA Auto Show was truly pathetic. The Big Three are a real embarrassment and do not deserve booths. Especially when compared to Japanese firms. Ford's hits are thanks to the European branch of Ford, who actually makes great cars and the Japanese company Mazda. By the way the new Mazda3 was not the best looking small car, in fact it is one of the ugliest cars I have seen in quite some time. I look forward to the day when the overseas branches break off from the Big Three and take over the American market. We will finally have "American" cars that do not suck. I mean come on Korean brands are better than any of the Big Three, and they were a laughing stock up until only a few years ago. Just wait a few more years and Chinese companies will surpass the Big Three as they are begging for change on the street corner. On that note, a couple of experts (economists, automotive and such) who attended the Big Three's pleading to Congress for another bailout said that even if the $34million is given the Big Three will still fail. They claim that it will take $75-125million to save them. I say we let them die, use the money for government funded projects toward alternative energy development and let the European and Japanese companies that the Big Three own to take over. The result will be better vehicles, lower dependence on foreign oil, new industries with MASSIVE potential and the LA Auto Show can recover from the shame of the last couple years.
