Yea, but they're not all as bad off as GM. And GM wouldn't be in this position if their market share hadn't dropped steadily over the last few decades. Of course the massive drop in overall car sales would've had a huge affect on them no matter what but they wouldn't be nearly as vulnerable as they are now if they were selling more cars as compared to their competitors.

Thankfully they're working on changing it and it's things like ABL that help to modernize the image of a car and of a company. Just because some hillbilly is stuck in the past doesn't mean that the rest of us need to be and can't expect GM to lead the industry in design.
