Another phrase that Obama likes to use — “necessarily rise” — in reference to energy prices.

If you work in research (at least for GM) there is no union.

Jettas are GREAT cars, but also too expensive for the average Joe. And they’re sick tech. Squeezing another 15% of mpg is not doable without an alternate power source (ie, electricity). Which will make them cost even more...

I feel safer on my motorcycle than in a Smart car. At least the ambulance can pick me up off the side of the road instead of cutting me out in pieces with the jaws of life or in this case probably death.

The consumer crowd don’t discuss, in public at least, one of the costs of meeting increased fuel standards: increase fatalities due to lighter cars. The Feds always avoid that issue, like they are avoiding it in the healthcare debate. It’s a no-no. You don’t see it factored into the fuel economy decisions, and the “consumer advocate” groups don’t touch it because it might damage their allies.
The full costs should be part of the equation. What’s the cost of killing (statistically) a man or woman in the prime of life? It’s a lot of bucks that should be added to the bucks required to produce a fuel-efficient car.

This”man” is so girly.
Anyways, gotta ask the UAW: hows that hope and change thing working?
Unions like that and the coal miners who blindy backed this fool should be forced to decline unemployment benefits.

Not necessarily. Who moves the clay models? Who hooks up the motors and drive trains to the dyno machines? etc.
You’d be surprised.
