Memo to Detroit: “yes, it is your lack of fuel efficiency”

Current crisis not related to fuel prices: Current problem is not that consumers are demanding different, more fuel-efficient vehicles; the problem is that consumers are not buying vehicles at all.” – UAW

You spent years trying to get me to drive a Ford Gigantor, Chevy Truckles (now with balls!) and Chrysler Mini-my-wallet Van. There’s a reason the car I drive is from 1991, actually quite a few. The largest factor? It gets 26 m.p.g. highway and it’s all-wheel-drive! Why would I pay you for no improvement? Certainly it’s time you set the bar at 50+ for anything that doesn’t tow something. You’ve had years to work on this.
