That may be your personal opinion but I don't see how you can come to that conclusion. GM is the number one auto manufacturer in the word, as well as in the US. In the US no foreign manufacturer even comes close to GM sales figures. Do you think buyers are stupid?

Why are you worrying about what the worker get. The workers in foreign plants and in the US plants that assemble foreign cars get less but the foreign cars cost more, not less. You should ask you local Toyota dealer why they do not pass along some of the money they save on labor and the cheaper imported parts saving on to their customers.
