I've never bought a new car and all the used ones i have bought have been American made except for the Nissan Pathfinder I drive now and a 1974 Saab.

I know it's long. And probably not what you want to hear. But read it. It is, at the very least, "provocative".

The auto makers needed the bailout for national security reasons more than anything else I think. Who do you think builds the tanks,apcs,humvees,trucks etc. that the military uses?

I for one don't want to see our military have to go begging to Germany or Japan to get new military vehicles built. Good way for our tank and apc specs to end up on a desk in Beijing or Moscow.(They probably have them already but why make it easier for them?).

The automakers' products are more mass-produced assembly-line vehicles, doesn't work well for military hardware.

I thought the Abrams was made by Chrysler?

It was designed by Chrysler Defense, which General Dynamics purchase in the early 80s, I believe.
