There is a stigma about sedans? Well I *might* give you the wagon but sedans?
I forgot to mention another thing I like about my truck - high visibility. I can usually see through the car or truck in front of me, which gives me an advantage in avoiding collisions, abrupt lane changes, or objects in the roadway. In my GTO this was quite the opposite.
The American idiots who want Detroit to fail lack the mental acument to comprehend that the auto industry is interconnected with so many other industries that a collapse there will cripple the US economy further than it already is. But then again, why say facts to dogmatic zealots frenzied at attacking those not responsible for the problem just so you can feel smug and self-righteous. How very Republican of you.

F-150 $17.700
Corolla $15.250
Camry $18.920
Doesn't seem like the sedans are all that overpriced
STILL waiting for your explanation of Corvette assembly screwups as being the fault of management... And here you post the typical Democrat/unionist twaddle.
FYI, I'm ex-union, a former Teamster, and NOT a Republican.
Oh come on, at least quote some sedans that aren't completely boring like the Corolla or Camry. Throw a Honda in there, or a Nissan.
Also for the record I dont consider the Corolla a "sedan". Its more of a compact car. I have ridden in the back seat.
Dude that is a hell of a discount....The local dealer is advertising a base F-150 for $10,988 - and it's not a fleet model.
Note his location: Lewisville TX. trust me, in Chicago, if anything, there's a stigma attached to owning a truck.There is a stigma about sedans? Well I *might* give you the wagon but sedans?

That should be taken into account.
gtrietsc: Thanks for giving him an out. However, I do not accept that, as there is nothing management CAN do at this point to fix it within the confines of the union. So we'll still have to wait for his explanation. I'm not going to hold my breath, though.

I'm not about to defend the UAW against their obvious screwups. My point is and remains that MANAGEMENT screwed up the Big Three far more than the line workers and it is idiotic to blame to line workers for Detroit's woes. Responsibility lies squarely on the shoulders of executives at all levels.
UAW members did not decide to mass produce inferior quality SUVs.
Both are to blame. The UAW workers didn't bolt the cars together properly and as a result a lot of them fell apart and fail.
Well made engines that were DESIGNED to only get 10 miles per gallon are to blame.
Childish comeback that has all the teeth of an infant. Republicans do blame workers while giving incompeent and corrupt CEOs a free pass and even if you are not one as you claim not to be, you're imitation of one cannot be more exact. My observation of you and those who blame the workers for Detroit remains spot on.
Afterall, GM still holds the #1 spot with the same workers it had, but the management has changed and so has their thinking. They figured out that changes at the top were what mattered so why can't you?
