This is also when the car ceo's and union workers were acting like complete clueless idiots. I never understood why he bought these junky cars but I do now.

I don't think these companies were ever able to completely shake their arrogance and sloppy products of the 80's. This reputation has continued to haunt American car companies for decades. The cars may be better now but people still remember the past...
American made cars in the 1970s and 1980s were by far the worst produced cars in the world. They were ugly, huge, and their quality sucked donkey balls. I can't argue on that point!
