[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 580527, member: 9859"] And the privately owned GM did such a stellar job? What an act with all the folks who say government ownership will ruin GM.. Private ownership already ruined GM, whats wrong with the government trying to keep a once great America Co. thats built many of our "Freedom Fighting" war machines, not to mention some jobs available and avoid a devestating domino effect of job losses. Or did I miss something, maybe the private ownership is not at fault, maybe the sun was in it's eyes or it was the wind .... At $40,000 dollars a pop and a ten year life span on the batteries, hope theres enough well paid yuppies to bring the price down in a few years...America's love affair for big cars, suv's, oil/gas guzzling and gas hogs, mirrors that of our population's fat a $ $ waistlines and consumption. Will we ever learn ? Or just freak out and complain everytime gas prices rise. In Europe.... Ford, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Fiat, Opel, Nissan, Renault all have vehilcles with mpg figures between 45 and 60 .....Going off topic.... If Americans are serious about our carbon footprint, think birth control. The greenhouse gas impact of each extra child increases multiple times more significant by such practices as driving a fuel-efficient car, recycling, light bulbs, electric, and appliances to name a few....
