  • Reality Check

    For those of you who believe American cars are built by Americans and Japanese cars are built by Japanese...

    *Don't Read Any Further If You Don't Want To Be Disappointed*

    In some cases Toyota has accomplished building more cars using more Americans with more American parts than the big 3. Stop worrying about the "stupid people" and the "everyone's" who are out to kill the American economy. If you want a plasma TV under $10,000 than yours will be made in China. It's a global economy, get used to it.

    The reality about CAFÉ standards is that it is a farce in the first place. If you can drive more because you can go further on less gas, than guess what, you do. I realize that the commute to work will be more efficient, but efficiency enables us to take that drive "up north" for the weekend (because we can afford it) and we'll drive ALONE to work because we can. I hate to scorch the fist you have your money in, but what will motivate you to demand fuel alternatives is the price you pay to put it in your tank; along with taxing corporations who leave offensive carbon footprints (the amount of climate changing gases they release into the air).

    GM is the biggest corporation in the world (passed momentarily by Toyota) not because they're giving away daisies. When they wanted to create an entirely automotive transportation network in Detroit they bought ALL the public transport, sold it to Mexico, and never shuttered an eye. Was it fair?

    GM has never proven itself as friendly and never had environmental integrity. If you believed in the EV1, shame on them. If you believe in the Volt, shame on you. Only time will tell, until then, by the one that's making an effort NOW.
