The US auto industry was the most innovative and productive in the world. Why are they blaming foreign companies for their woes when they should be putting all their efforts into improving and reinventing the market?

Might be a little too late, their woes started in the late 70's when foreign car makers would slowing get a foothold here with more economical/better quality/less expensive vehicles and we sat twiddling our thumbs producing the same cars not believing they were a threat, might be too late now to reverse the trend no matter how great a car we produce, I don't think any total car is made in America anymore anyway!

Hello Koz! I am certainly not an expert in economics or the automotive industry, but I think the US auto industry set themselves up to fail as they continually blocked efforts to explore alternative fuel usage. I think that would have been key to competing with the foreign companies economy cars. And I agree with Raddman: How can an automobile be called American when many of the bits and pieces are made and assembled out of the country?

Why should we? WE Americans are PERFECT! PERFECT DAMN YOU! How DARE you imply that we aren't! Seriously though, it's a combination of ego and laziness.
