Automakers Plan Stunt at their next begging Session

I guess cheap theatrics will be replacing sound business plans when the Automakers shake their tin cups next month. I guess you can call it the "Million Poorly Made Car" March:

The Detroit area's auto industry, whose livelihood depends on the health of Chrysler LLC, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. spent the weekend e-mailing and discussing how to set up a giant car caravan to seek help from Congress.

I think the idea of them flying to the begging session in separate corporate jets shows how messed up these guys were. It made the car makers look like they are going to panhandle in a Rolls Royce. If even one of them showed up in a car made by their company then they would have looked a lot better then they had. Like if the GM CEO drove a Chevy Volt there then it would have looked like they were serious about electric cars. Instead they looked like clueless plutocrats.
