Maybe these people think, "I'm helping the American economy." What they're really doing is reinforcing the bloated, fat cat US carmakers' crappiness and showing them that their shoddy cars will sell, even if they are non-competitive.

I think I'd much rather own a 10-year old Honda or Toyota before I'd ever dream of taking on the burden of a new GM car, regardless of its cost. Employee pricing ads fall on deaf ears in my house.

I bet it will take something like one of the big three going under for the remaining others to actually get competitive again.
