US President elect Barack Obama has already announced the bail out of the US carmakers as a priority. Whatever happened to the cut and thrust of good old capitalism; the survival of the fittest? First the banks, now the car industry and heaven know what next. If the luxury watch industry stumbled on hard times would the government bail them out? Of course not because people can do without luxury watches but they apparently can't do without luxury cars. If that doesn't sound convincing don't worry....it's not supposed to.
On the whole the motor industry has got itself into this mess over the years by producing the wrong products and it's iniquitous to expect taxpayer to bail them out. For example, the rivalry between the German big three to produce ever more powerful and expensive saloons is great if you happen to be a motoring journalist but what relevance does it have to the real world? Mercedes produce an AMG version of their C class so Audi have to up the game by producing a very fast version of the Audi A4 and obviously BMW don't want to be left out so they produce a hectically manic version of the three series. Then Mercedes get cracking on an even faster C class and so it goes on. None of these cars are cheap and while they may be fantastic to drive on a racetrack they have absolutely no place or relevance on most country's roads
