A Mustang a minute.....

[Seattle Sam]

There are two big problems that make it difficult if not impossible for Ford and GM to compete -

All the plants that manufacture the vehicles mentioned above are built in "right to work" states where you are not required by law to join the union when you work in a union shop. And the companies involved make an effort to keep their employees happy and not push them towards organizing. Thus these manufacturers are not saddled with expensive (and uncompetitive) union wages and benefits.

Second, these plants are all new and make use of the latest manufacturing technology to keep quality and productivity high and costs down.

Tough to beat that kind of "one-two" punch..
