Just for the recent EV pushing regs to become law.
Just wait for the recent EV pushing regs to become law.
The EPA is not a power the federal government was ceded by the constitution. It needs to be shut down. If everybody thinks it is such a great idea, use the amendment process to give the federal government that authority. Otherwise, it’s null and void.
This guy owns an EV , LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIx4RQAsE54
They’ll push the date back on the EVs because EVs are a disaster
And lefties believe the EPA belongs to them regardless of who is in the White House.
Donald Trump hired Scotty Pruitt specifically to helm the EPA and rein in their job killing and financially crippling environmental regulations. Pruitt proceeded to do exactly that. Liberals screamed bloody murder. Trump demanded Pruitt's resignation.
I’m at the point where getting in and out of a low slung sedan is a challenge. Sedans can be a relative bargain compared to SUVs, and there are a bunch I’d like to own, but age has ruled most of them out.
I know the ‘experience’. Recently a friend gave me a short hop in a scooby doo type van and when I got out I plunged face down in the parking lot.
Most modern SUVs are about the same size and stature as 1930’s and 1940’s sedans.
Oh boy am I glad I don’t know what the ‘New Republic’ is. Some news paper or magazine I am unaware of.
Btw your post title reminded me of this song:
Then they got sold, went downhill, and now they have become irrelevant.
EPA rules killed off small light truck sales in the U.S. Imagine the nerve of American citizens not doing what the EPA wants them to! Imagine car companies trying to sell vehicles their customers are willing to buy instead of what the government thinks they should buy! Americans are the worst!
/s
bet you won’t do THAT again...after a night out.
If you are an old timer, then you would remember when station wagons were everywhere, alongside sedans. Then the government intervened with exorbitant fees on station wagons. Then all of a sudden, station wagons disappeared in favor of vans and light trucks that were not subject to the extra taxation. Boom! No more station wagons. Notice now the prevalence of hatchback sedans, and how they resemble the old station wagon? But don't call them that! More government interference and now our builders are pushing trucks on us, and no longer make sedans here.
Don’t blame the car manufacturers on this. The Democrats knew EXACTLY what would happen; this is how they killed the station wagon off.
Perhaps. And I wouldn't be surprised if Detroit are part responsible. The Big Three might have lobbied for tighter restrictions on sedans, knowing the end result would be more people driving truck-like cars that, at the time, the Big Three were better at making (than foreign car makers).
Yes. The only vehicle you can get is Truck or SUV.
E.G GM makes only one normal car - the Chevy Malibu.
There are also Corvette and some Cadillac(s).
Other carmakers lots are similar - Trucks, SUVs.
