If costs were in line with competitors, I firmly believe you could have developed the Camaro at the same or LESS R&D funding than you did, and at the same time have the superior chasis it has, the syling, everything the car has already, but with greater attention to detail (better visors with lights, softer IP plastic, easy entry configurations for both seats, tucked away the wire loom for the trunk lid, and other small details) and still kept the sticker price where it is..... and the company make money..... all at the same time.
It is very apparent GM's cost structure is still far out of line with competitors.

you may be on to something BUT then again you not because what my Understanding was That JAPAN gives funding for inhouse transportation so to make a long story easy and short there gov't eats some of the production cost so you might say thay have an Unfare advantage
IMHO to even it out there should be a tax on buying hondas or toYTCrap in USA
