By contrast, "India is further along in building a productive business environment," Porter said. "It has talented high-end people with deep expertise in IT, software, pharmaceuticals.

"We'd like to see more differentiation in the sheet metal, not just the inside creature comforts or the taillights," says Robert Thibodeau, owner of a major Detroit Ford dealership.
