How much of the cost of a car is the TOTAL cost of a worker, not just the wages? I'm talking benefits, the "job bank", pension and other legacy costs - health care for retirees, etc.

I think that's going to be a bit more than 9%. Furthermore, I think they'd be selling the cars at a lot cheaper rate if it got them out of the hole and kept people working. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be happening.
