I think the goal of modern liberal car design is to make driving a totally unpalatable experience.

I’m not sure I even get your point. Demand exists for lighter vehicles that get better gas mileage. This decreases tax revenues from fuel surcharges, cuts costs at the pump, and means less money going into the Middle East. Further, these vehicles are economical. It’s about freaking time GM started getting in on this, even if they are producing cars in South Korea.
How are these liberal concepts?
And further, small cars can be a lot of fun to drive. They definitely have better turning radiuses than more obese vehicles. Gotta love a quick U-turn on a two-lane road.

Liberal car design? The not-so-big three are in the business of making cars that somebody -- anybody -- will buy. Their business is surviving the next fiscal quarter, not in promoting "liberal" or "conservative" cars.
