Brilliant - let’s make cars the average working Joe can’t afford. They are such morons.

Excellent point. While speaking with one of my auto gnomes I noted they were making a CNG version of their popular car. His response? Yes but the guy working as a Mgr @ Wall Mart still can't swing it so he will buy a used Taurus.

Tangent to this, one of my gnomes was on the Volt. Changes in our lifes I have lost contact. We had some interesting conversations, and note he did not spill any beans, but our discussions are not for here.

IMHO it is a bit of a disappointment, I had hoped the engine would run steady state to get the lowest Brake Specific Fuel Consumption. Instead they are using the electric drive train as a transmission. Interesting? A bit, but far from what was originally proposed. I got some ideas on what could have been even better, but not for here...

Better yet, lets make cars that Joe blow can’t afford, and then give a... tax-break-for-the-riiiiiichuh in the form of a 7500 rebate so all the rich commie pigs can look pius.
