Yes, I am. Right now the only high-mileage, high-performance vehicles I can get are foreign and I prefer to buy American. So, you want the government to force Detroit to make the kind of vehicle you want when market forces are driving them the other way?

But I disagree about market forces pushing Detroit to make bigger gas guzzlers. Ford is on the verge of collapse because they bet the farm on gas guzzlers when fuel was cheap. Chrysler is junk, GM is the same. I believe the market is pushing Detroit to make more fuel efficient vehicles, but Detroit doesn't realize it yet.

Market forces are leaving their products sitting on the lot.
