If you intend to buy German cars instead, be assured that we are proud both to produce high quality cars and allow for ample codetermination in our factories. It's a different system compared to the US, but it has ensured prosperity and social balance over the last 60 years.
Unions are absolutely necessary. Our would you prefer that everything is decided top-down from people who do not have the resemblance of the faintest idea of what it actually means to work? Of course unions aren't perfect, and there might well be some points where they have overstepped the mark. But then blame the people in charge, not the unions as a whole.

I've just read that the Tata Nano is planned to be introduced to the US market in 2 years. (http://jalopnik.com/5182270/tata-pla...-for-us-market). If they ever intend to produce a pickup version, I'm sure you're in for a treat. And you don't have to worry about excessive wages in India.
