It's kind of tough to succeed when your workers (with the same skills) get paid 2-3x what competing car companies pay. Profit margins are just as important to a company's success as demand. See Internet math of the late 90's for a perfect example of what 1000000 * 0 equals.

Maybe the car companies should try the XBox business model. Sell the cars at a loss, then only let them use special gas that is massively marked up.

For $7.99 a month, you can have "airbag live gold" which automatically deploys the airbags during a crash. A great idea!
