Where will the American car companies be ten years from today?

Imagine Detroit's Big 3 -- 10 years out
While it'll be a long, tough haul, experts say good times can return for GM, Ford and Chrysler.

The following futuristic scenario is based on a series of interviews with auto executives and analysts. While they all warned that none of the changes projected are certain, they also believe that if troubled U.S. automakers make some key moves, the companies could see a relatively quick turnaround.

From the perspective of 2015, it's tough to remember that only a decade ago, in 2005, the nation's automakers were just about on the ropes.

As 2015 comes to a close, Detroit's Big Three are all posting solid profits in their car and truck operations at home, higher sales and profits from overseas than seemed possible a decade ago, and a product lineup that's just about the envy of their Japanese competitors.

AutoSpies.com perspective: This is a pipe dream. Ten years out it will be Toyota and everyone else will be a distant second.

how can anyone say? I don't know. But, if they are going to base their survival on retro styling than at least create something like the Holden Efigy concept car recently shown at the Australian Auto Show. I've never seen a better utilization of modern technology put into work and fit to the true nature of an older model. The detail of this car is amazing, from the front HID headlights to the rear trunk lid lights, the digital speedometer reading on a white background, plus the nicely styled seats and rear seat detail ... wow. It's too bad that the exterior design is way to extreme (but great looking!) to be mass produced.

Now THAT is retro done well ... unlike the Mustang's interior... same ol' cheap stuff.
