The article tries to capture reader emotion by stating the unknown price increase to the consumer for their cars... but after correcting the price fixing, prices for cars will not drop.

this is a very good point. Some execs will get busted and brought shame to their famiry, but its not like they were crippling the auto industry or national economy like the article leads you to believe.

Speaking of crippling national economies, lets talk about all those *** holes at Goldman Sachs that got arrested for, oh wait...
