Right or wrong, it's like the old Jerry Butler song says: "Only The Strong Survive." The auto industry in the 1950's was a prime example. Ever hear of Hudson, Nash, Kaiser-Frazer, Studebaker, Packard, Willys, or Tucker? It wasn't that any of these folks put out a bad product; they just couldn't make money making the quality product they were known for.
