Checked the MSRP on a Lotus lately? (Lotus, BTW, had the highest CAFE rating of any company that sells in the US last year?) Or Porsche, Ferrari, the two-seater BMW & Mercedes models? Or even the Corvette?
As for the unions and wages, I have to agree that the unions have to bear a large share of the blame for fostering an adversarial, short-sighted "I've got my $35/hr regardless, so screw the greedy management and their company" attitude. Seems any sensible negotiator would have demanded profit-sharing instead, in order to give the workers an immediate stake in the company's success.
