The U.S. state of Michigan used to be the throbbing heart of the once-mighty American auto industry and a vital employer. But the current financial crisis has brought this engine of U.S. business near the brink of collapse and some Michigan residents are now in a fight for survival.
Michigan really could use some new industry. Many of the people living there are having a difficult time.

Korean car companies have only become serious competitors in the last 10 years or so. Honda and Toyota have been hurting the big 3 since the 70's.

If you mean the cheapest Big 3 models compared with the top of the few line or close to top of the line model(s)then I might believe that. As for as anything Al Gore has his paws into,I don't put much credibility into it.He's a self-serving opportunist prick that owns about 5 SUVs, a private jet, a huge mansion with a zinc mine in his backyard, & he preaches about how everyone else needs to consume less energy while he flies and drives all over the world & eats juicy steaks & food in abundance.

i menat one specific type of car. sorry if i didnt put it out clearly enough. but i found the book actually very good. it has alot of sources which one can check up if one questions the data.

Using An Inconvenient Truth as a source isn't a good idea. The movie is full of half truths and downright baloney. It is a propaganda film. As far as India and China having cars with better quality that US cars is hard to believe.
