The bottom line:
I ain’t dying because of for for Obama.
I thought this was about vehicles not presidential directives....
Hell, I’ll run over one of these environazi death traps in my Suburban and think it’s a speed bump. HEY, maybe there is a use for them afterall!
After the accident death rate goes out out sight, we will be forced into a “national speed limit”....say, 45mph should do it. Can’t be killing off those greenies, can we?
Just out of curiosity....I wonder what the insurance premiums are going to be on these death traps?
A lady in my church bought one of those blasted ‘Smart Cars’. It looks like an encased roller skate. The driver’s head is just more than a foot from the back. NO trunk. Unbelievable.
Depends on how much money you are willin g to spend. You can buy a "Tesla", for around $200,000,(and wait ten years for delivery) which gets a claimed 240 Km per charge, or shell out even more for some Europeon made all electric cars, with top speeds into the 340km range with 700hp electric motors.
Then there's a 2 cylinder "Nina" made in India for $2,500.00, which is what the CRAP GM, Crysler and Ford makes should sell for.
We are about to be introduced to a lot of junk like this.
I am told the Volt which is Chevy’s new hybrid needs a push to get over a hill. It isnt near ready for prodction, has to be plugged in, costs about $35,000 which is a tad more than most people want to spend o a vehicle that isnt proven when they can get a Prius for less and Toyota is probably way ahead on their second generation Prius.
Why is everybody being so mean?
That is one hellava golf cart if you ask me.

It’s a little hard to tell, but I’m thinking the writer didn’t particularly care for the Insight. /s
It’s hard to believe the car could be this bad. Sales would be nil if it were.
Consumer demand and the manufacturers’ scramble to serve it can be seen in the sales numbers. Auto sales in the U.S. fell 18% year-to-year in June, mostly due to sparse sales of once popular light trucks, which include pickup trucks and SUVs. Those light trucks represented 55% of all U.S. vehicle sales in 2005. In the first half of 2008, their share was down to 47%. In May, General Motors announced it would close four truck and SUV plants and roll out more fuel-efficient vehicles.Story from 2008, even more true today, I think Honda as been working on this thing a lot loner than obamma has been president!!Link to story:http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=2012

Folks here need to realize the article was written by Jeremy Clarkson (one of the last sane minds in the UK - by way of sheer insanity!?). If you don’t know what that means, you need to do some research (and watch a couple of dozen episodes of Top Gear). Hint: most people who know his work don’t need to see “/sarc” “tags” or other such stupidity to understand what he’s on about.
Man, I love it when Brit writers tear into something. Much better than American writers in my opinion.
