...industry will hit a post-bankruptcy tipping point around Labor Day. Chrysler will be several months into its Chapter 11, and, unless there is a miracle like one seen at Lourdes, GM will be in court within two or three weeks. It will appear to the public that the car industry is burning to the ground. Desperate dealers offering prices that defy logic will only heighten the sense that the American car business is just hanging on to the ledge...
