It's exactly like the false arguement that the salary cap was going to bring ticket prices down. Ticket prices are set by supply and demand in the market. The salary cap merely made the business more viable.
The unions have not driven up the price of vehicles, they have (among other things, of course), assisted in making the American auto industry unviable.

It depends on how you choose to look at it. Unions haven't necessarily driven up the sticker price that a consumer pays for a vehicle, but they've obviously increased the labor costs of producing those vehicles. So it becomes a question of a decreased/negative margin or an inferior product, and it seems that the latter has been chosen.
So while you may not be paying an extra $2000 for a GM you're probably getting $2000 less in terms of quality.
