if the american car manufacturers had treated their employees well from the beginning they wouldn't of ever had unions.

Oddly enough, yesterday I saw a Chevy Impala with a license plate that read "BUY UAW." It took me a second to realize what that meant, and then I started wondering about why the hell they wouldn't have gotten a plate that read "BUY GM" or "BUY CHEVY." Unions have their place, but the UAW has way too much power and seems to be in an alternate-reality where the big three still control 90% of the american auto market.

if ford diverted all that money away from rebates and 0% financing to research and development and maybe built a decent car for a change.

Build quality sucks, design sucks, and the guy at the top ok'd it and put it into production. Each division, from the lowest end to the CEO, is to blame and each division is guilty...everyone looses.
