We'll see if it lasts. I grew up in Detroit and saw how they operated... encouraging "japan bashing" in the early 90's recession and doubling down on gas guzzlers when the future was in high mileage cars.
Have they really changed? I seem to recall recently that they received a sweetheart deal from the current administration where as a prerequisite for actually investing in new plants, they received a promise that fuel efficiency standards would be lowered. They want to sell comparative gas guzzlers again... bigger cars mean. more profits! Who cares if the extra. emissions causes premature deaths in the largest market in the US (https://www.google.com/amp/www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-pollution-deaths-20160810-snap-story,amp.html https://www.google.com/amp/www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me...).
Sigh, they are not only being subsidized, but they are heaping the costs on the very same public that bailed them out of certain death.
