[quote.....**GM also quietly bought up numerous electric street car companies after WWII using front companies, including systems in the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles. They allowed the street car systems to fall apart and cut operating schedules until commuters were forced to buy a car. Mission accomplished.
[/ QUOTE ] Bill, Don't forget that a well known tire company was in that conspiracy as well. I believe it was Firestone. And yes, you're correct. The American car makers only have themselves to blame for their woes. Ponder this thought: If the Japanese had not cleaned the US automakers clocks, what crap would we be driving today. Stiff competition breeds better products. Unfortunately, the big three didn't see it that way until their eyes were opened. They were dumping total crap on us and they got blind sided. ![]() I don't drive a foreign car at this time, but the Acura TL will most likely be my next car. Steve
