Unions played a major part.TB7 » 21 Jun 2022, 12:03 pm » wrote: ↑ EDUCATE YOURSELF, OR YOU WILL WAKE UP TOMORROW JUST AS STUPID AS YOU ARE TODAY
How the Unions Killed Detroit
Quality ultimately slayed the beast. Or lack of quality.
Everything made in the US costs more. Union or not.
Customer loyalty was heavily damaged over the years and that easily killed sales of US brands.
When Japanese cars started posting cars with one million miles and better dealership relations with customers, the big switch gained even more steam while fumbling dealerships lost out.
Then when ANY automobile dealership gets their service bays so overwhelmed that they begin to lie or "forget",
that merely compounds the problem.
Perceived quality of the vehicle itself coupled with perceived quality of dealer service...
both ends of the transaction go to ****. People walk.
Being overpriced because of unions is not the entire story. Sure doesn't help, though.
Japanese dumping also exacerbated this.
Selling a Lexus at a loss for a while... that type of thing.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
