Not trying to troll. Just honestly wonder what you think is the biggest obstacle Detroit has to being profitable/viable.

Personally, I think the Unions represent one of the biggest cancers on our auto industry (and entire national economy, indirectly). But I'd have to say that corporate mismanagement is another abomination that's killing our auto industry. And I'd have to offer that due to previously horrendously crappy Detroit-badged products, the very poor image that American consumers have of American automotive products rounds out the trifecta that's sending the Big 3 to the brink of insolvency.

To fix the current situation, you have to fix all three problems. Otherwise, IMO we're doomed to repeat what's going on now.
