Ever since the original inception of the modern auto industry, Detroit has been the world's epicenter of automotive manufacturing and design. Detroit is home to the headquarters of all three major American automakers. The industry has been extremely vital to the region's economy and culture. As we all have seen, the domestic manufacturers have been struggling with extremely low sales and turbulent economic conditions. This has hit the Detroit and the entire Midwest region extremely hard. Parts suppliers and auto plants are being routinely shuttered and workers sent home.
