Have you ever seen any foreign companies giving “employee discounts”? I havent. They dont have to People who buy american cars nowadays are shopping for a price, people who buy foriegn cars are shopping for a car. Im not talking about Corvettes, im talking about normal cars that most people in this country drive. Camrys, Accords etc. You know that high volume vehicles. Sure the product isnt the whole problem but a much better product would help.
