Actually, the point is that you're wrong drone. There was nothing wrong with Escorts, they sold a shit load of them without complaint. I had two of them. One of them was an '81, and the other was a 91, and they ran like tops. It amazes me how people ... wait, no. It doesn't amaze me that people repeat what they hear second hand. Japanese cars had their share of problem too. Discounting the 70's when American cars where pieces of shit, the big three put out quality product in the 80's and 90's. Or just as good as Japanese did.
>>None of this can be blamed on any union:<<
Right. Do you know anybody who was UAW during the 80's and 90's? I do, lots of them. Do I have to describe their work ethic too you? No, they didn't design them, thank God, but they built them. They put them together, they tooled the parts. They drank on the job, they couldn't get fired ... that's just part of it. Sure, it's never the union guys fault. Just ask 'em. Except for artificially inflating the cost of the cars and demanding less and less quality and more time off, no they had nothing to do with it.
What horse shit.
