Not only that Carl, I won't buy a Big 3 vehicle when I replace my 
present Chevy (I have never owned a foreign branded auto either). 
The UAW can stuff it after this crap.  The same for any union 
business that think they come before the country and the rest of us. 
I am now actively looking for quality foreign made goods.
