Product Information

An in-depth, hard-hitting account of the mistakes, miscalculations and myopia that have doomed America's automobile industry. In the 1990s, Detroit's Big Three automobile companies were riding high. The introduction of the minivan and the SUV had revitalized the industry, and it was widely believed that Detroit had miraculously overcome the threat of foreign imports and regained its ascendant position. As Micheline Maynard makes brilliantly clear in THE END OF DETROIT, however, the traditional American car industry was, in fact, headed for disaster. Maynard argues that by focusing on high-profit trucks and SUVs, the Big Three missed a golden opportunity to win back the American car-buyer. Foreign companies like Toyota and Honda solidified their dominance in family and economy cars, gained market share in high-margin luxury cars, and, in an ironic twist, soon stormed in with their own sophisticatedly engineered and marketed SUVs, pickups and minivans. Detroit, suffering from a "good enough" syndrome and wedded to ineffective marketing gimmicks like rebates and zero-percent financing, failed to give consumers what they really wanted-reliability, the latest technology and good design at a reasonable cost. Drawing on a wide range of interviews with industry leaders, including Toyota's Fujio Cho, Nissan's Carlos Ghosn, Chrysler's Dieter Zetsche, BMW's Helmut Panke, and GM's Robert Lutz, as well as car designers, engineers, test drivers and owners, Maynard presents a stark picture of the culture of arrogance and insularity that led American car manufacturers astray. Maynard predicts that, by the end of the decade, one of the American car makers will no longer exist in its present form.

  • The End of Detroit by Micheline Maynard (2003)

    This is a good book that in the context of today's request for bailout money by the Big Three Automakers is quite relevant. Although published in 2003, it was quite informative to me, a "follower" of the car industry since I was in my teens. It's more about what the Japanese automakers did RIGHT than about the numerous mistakes made by the American automakers. It sets forth how the Japanese correctly matched their products to the American market and carefully analyzed the labor markets before "invading" with their own factors in the USA. But in doing so, it points out clearly where the Big Three went wrong over many decades, concentrating on short-term profits rather than long-term goals. American cars are vastly improved over those of the '60s, '70s and '80s, but the mistakes and ...

  • The End of Detroit

    I had to read this book for a college course. The book is a little dated now since it was written in 2002. The book is kind of one side toward how great import cars are. This book is full of facts. The book leaves you wanting to learn more the subject.
