If US automakers would have forecast where the industry was going (either by intuition or good market research) they would not be in the shape they are in today.Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16907581331686653661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9285668.post-1502869669548658612009-03-28T14:25:00.000-07:002009-03-28T14:25:00.000-07:00Maybe if the average car didn't cost so much money it would be easier for people to buy them. Where I used to live my job paid $38.00 an hour and we could afford average cars. Where I live now the average pay for my job is a bit on the low end: $13.00 an hour (for an IT/programmer? GAH)<BR/><BR/>The average car pay for a shiny new car is $300. How in the hell are we supposed to pay that? $300 used to be the cost of a BMW payment.<BR/><BR/>Cars are stupidly expensive and then in 10 years your $40,000 investment is going to be worth $500.<BR/><BR/>What a waste of money.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.geekmom.net" REL="nofollow">geekmom</A>Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02248358387178601173noreply@blogger.com
