    I like the looks of the H3.

    I thought the H2s were the best-looking of the bunch, personally.

    Has GM moved its corporate HQ to Delaware for tax reasons or something?

    Otherwise, meeting in Delaware seems a little weird.

    Actually I will argue you can trace the death of American Auto manufacturing to the first oil crisis of the 70s. While companies like Toyota, Nissan and Datsun were sending over little pillboxes that actually got decent mileage and were well made, the big 3 continued to make big, crappy cars and started to lose marketshare until you have what we have today.

    GM, Ford and Chrysler will continue to shrink over the next 5 years — to the point where Toyota will be able to drown them in a bathtub.

    Actually, the Big 3 managed to make some small, crappy cars back then.

    Is anyone going to make the four-banging, 4x2 pickup that Toyota and Nissan used to make in the 1980s?

    Perfect for the average joe in suburbia.

    I would sell my F150 tomorrow if they did.

    I had a little Datsun pickup I drove in the 80s. Put about 150,000 miles on it and gave it to my brother, who put at least that much before selling it. It's still puttering around out there somewhere.
