Thats most probably because they belong to Daimler Chrysler (Mercedes Benz) but still ... i dont see a justification to fire people.

What i dont understand is this:
If US automakers are having such a hard time ... why the fuck dont they just sell their cars at a higher price??? I mean car prices in the US are less than half than what they are in the rest of the world. Just add a couple of thousand dollars on each car and there you go ... you are profitable.

Or ... sell cars outside the USA!!!
They're already OVERPRICED as it is. Drive a $25k Chevy Impala off the lot and you'll be lucky if it's worth $10k on trade in 12 months.

Buy a $25k Honda Accord and it's worth $20k a year later.

They US automakers have done everything they can to win people over, EXCEPT build great cars, with a few exceptions.
