I used to work at a company and outsourced. The jobs always came back really crappy, and they always had to send them back, therefor paying for it twice. I always wondered how much money they really saved on it instead of picking a few good workers from the unemployment tree.
I hate to say it, but I don't see the "big three" auto makers lining up with 10 yr 100,000 mile warranties. Also I know someone who recently bought a new US made VCR that started smoking and caught fire. If you can't deliver quality product & superior service at a good price, you'll lose.
