Yes it is sad. Zenith was probably proved to be the best brand but even they succumbed to competitive pressures and went south. Seems like everything else in the U.S. is going the same way too unfortunately. Lets face it, our manufacturing industries are in a shambles. We lost the electronics battle long ago, Ford and GM are no longer that big (compared to Toyota anyway) and Chrylser is now a foreign company. We are no longer number one in the aircraft industry either, Boeing has taken a back seat to Airbus. Airbus just came out with a jumbo jet that is going to put Boeing's 747 completely out of the business.
Other than computer software (Microsoft) and farming, I can't think of anything else the U.S. does well anymore, its really kind of depressing if you think about it.
