Well, GM and Ford are still American-owned the last time I checked. And
GM, Ford, and Chrysler still employee far more Americans than do any of
the foreign-owned manufacturers like Toyota and Honda. The 'Big Three'
still contribute far more the the U.S. economy than any other automotive
manufacturer does, even if Chrysler is now German-owned.
