American Cars - A Work In Progress?

So we've all heard the claims by American automakers over the past year, they can plan to make better overall cars that we want to buy. While there are some indicators that this is finally becoming a reality, there are many others that show the automakers may not be improving fast enough. I'd like to get everyone's opinion on this, do you think American car companies are on the right track to success once again? Do they still have a long road up ahead? Or is there no hope for domestic auto manufacturers?
