Chrysler was bankrupt before, and interestingly enough Mercedes now has the lowest satisfaction and quality rating its carried ever.

High oil prices are what have caused problems with the auto market more than anything else.
High oil prices did not help, specially if the car companies banked a great deal in SUV's. Though I would say high oil prices is not the biggest cause of the auto markets problems. I would wager that the majority of it's problems are based on pension plans.
