@Phil@DrFell@Humpleupagus@freepatriotIn fairness, their cars were sh!t and Iacoca scored the loan on the promise that they'd no longer be sh!t which was a promise he mostly made good on. They made bank stamping out those Space Shuttle-shaped minivans for boomers to haul their kids around in.
@Humpleupagus@DrFell@Phil@freepatriotYeah and it didn't hurt that the company was able to pay the (admittedly favorable) loan back, something no company would even think to do a generation later.
