Hey guys, I just picked up the book "The End of Detroit." I haven't gotten all the way through it yet, but for those of you who are also interested in the business aspects of the auto industry, it is a great read. It talks about Ford, GM, and Chrysler and how the import companies have destroyed them since the early 70's. Very interesting and well written.
Check it out:
