Labor unions have so much leverage that they force the companies shareholders to pay wages over 20 dollars an hour, pay for retirement, and pay for their health care. After all the employees get hired, and payed their wage retirement and health care there is no money left over for much quality and research and development. This is a guess. I may be ignorant when it comes to unions but this is my best guess anyway.

An important point too (that has been mentioned earlier in the thread) is that Americans drive MUCH more than almost any other nationality - including most of Europe and Asia. US cars are built to reflect this, .... Even in Europe! We just don't drive that much.
