The American voter has been taught to believe in all this nonsense. They will get what they deserve.

Unfortunately, the rest of us will also be impacted.

Don’t all cars sold in the U.S. have to abide by the dictates?

It’s like the old joke about two guys in a rowboat. A leak appears in the bow, and the guy in the stern says to himself “I’m sure glad the leak is on his side of the boat...”

Also don’t forget that when we use less fuel, gov’t at all levels will have to find new ways to makeup for lost fuel taxes. I also expect the cost of fuel to go up higher for other economic reasons. Trust me, this will be most costly fuel efficient vehicles ever produced.

Clearly Barrack Obortion is becoming more like Hitler every day. Take the banks, take the finance, take the auto-industry and attempt to limit free speech.
The tragedy is for the most part the citizenry is so dumbed down that they haven’t a clue that they voted themselves into slavery.

Already my father is talking about buying a new SUV way ahead of schedule - while he still can buy one.

Reading this article (being from Rochester, I used to listen to Lonsberry), I’m thinking maybe I’ll get a Jeep sooner rather than later - while I still can.

Generally true, but safety is also proportional to the engineering. The early 2000s Ford F150 was big and heavy, but it was also a death trap compared to well-engineered cars that weighed half as much.

But, yes, all else being equal, mass usually offers more protection.

I wonder how the MSM is going to spin Obama’s straw into gold?

CAFE Obama: Proposed mileage standards would kill more Americans than Iraq War

Excerpt:
The Obama administration’s proposed mileage standards that will be announced today (May 19, 2009) may kill more Americans at a faster rate than the Iraq War — his signature issue in the 2008 presidential campaign.

Better take care of the car you now own. I for one will not buy a tiny sh%#box designed by odumbo.

It depends. The CAFE standards regulate fleets, that is, all of a manufacturers’ products, not individual vehicles. You might still be able to buy large, safe, vehicles made in this country, but the price will be inflated because you will be subsidizing the production of the company’s eco-deathtraps that people don’t want to buy. People can go to say, Europe, and buy a new Volkswagen or Mercedes, and import it into the U.S.

If Henry Ford were alive today he would say screw you we no longer manufacture cars in the US. I only wish we had real men running these companies. If we did GM,Ford, and Chrysler would hold a press conference and say: We are now closing All Plants in the US, all assets will be sold off and distributed to our valued employees as a severance package. Sorry you don’t like it but this is the change you were promised. I hope you like it.
