Also, I'm tired of people saying the only reason Toyota was able to do so well is because it isn't Union. What about Ford? Ford is union and they have been surviving without any government handouts.
Ford's CEO too proactive approaches to prevent a situation like this. He sold off losing portions of the company like Jaguar and utilized that money to create products the consumer wants.
Another example of Ford doing it right in comparison to GM doing it wrong - Ford is the first domestic car company to bring to market a viable hybrid option for the consumer. Ford anticipated that more consumers would want a hybrid option. On average, people are commuting further to work than they were 20 years ago and Ford recognized the demand.
As I've been saying for months, a poor business plan is why companies like GM are in the toilet. They've been far below the curve for years and should have been sold off after they thought the Aztek was a good vehicle to bring to market.
