That's inaccurate. GM's benefit burden is $1500.

Japan? about $400.00 per car.

Source, please.

GM profit per auto = -$1500.00
Toyota profit per auto= $2000.00

Notice a correlation? Japanese and German manufacturers abroad don't
suffer that benefit burden because their governments pick up much of
those costs for their workers. Japanese and German companies building
cars here in the United States have nonunion contracts, both factors
that work to keep their employee expenses lower.
Ask yourself why Daimler dumped Chrysler. Think it was management?
Poor product design?

ELEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS DOES NOT explain the sales gap.

We were discussing unionization and it's effects.
Try to keep up.
