Unfortunately the guv'ment doesn't sell cars. If you let 'em, imagine $500 hammers. They (we) might end up owning these dying companies but it doesn't design, build & market cars. The legacy companies were built up by millions of present & past workers that is huge part of their operating (losing) costs. They owe them their success as well as their burden.
Government sets safety & performance targets, engineers & designers have always been challenged with these constraints; ie, Japan & Europe. New companies that are not burdened by legacy problems could manage technology & marketing for consumers.
HMMM...I always wondered if Apple created a vehicle. They already ate up the aftermarket automotive stereo business with the Ipod. Something in white & very intuitive!
