[QUOTE="brett636, post: 580850, member: 249"] Survival of the fittest. If GM can't compete in a free market then they should not be competeing at all. In the long run it would have been better for GM to file bankruptcy as a private company than survive as a government run company. This just does not bode well for its future. Its a GM, their cars are notorious for fast depreciation. Its called freedom, I have two cars I can choose from for my daily commute, one is a 35 mpg car, and the other is a 14 mpg truck. Just for you I will start driving the truck from now on. Gotta keep that oil consumption up you know. :p A lot of this has to do with current government policy. Those cars you mentioned are mostly diesels, and our government views diesels as more polluting than gasoline powered cars. To bring a diesel vehicle to market here is very difficult and expensive. If the government would just let up on small diesel cars we would probably have more to choose from than we currently have. So why did you have children? I, along with most people, don't care about the environmental impacts of bringing a new life into this world. When I feel damn good and ready I will do so, but bringing up the environment to someone who wants to have kids is not going to have much of an impact. [/QUOTE]
