I didn't say they're not feeling a pinch - when the economy nosedives everyone feels the pinch, whether they make good stuff or not.
But you don't see the import CEO's running around begging for handouts from government either.
You see, while domestics (and to be charitable, Chrysler doesn't /really/ count here 'cause they're still getting out from under the Daimler messups, so their current issues can't really be entirely traced to the "domestics are crap" argument) were busy losing money before the collapse, the imports weren't. The collapse has just exacerbated the domestics' problems to the point that they're in real trouble a bit earlier than they would ordinarily have been.
