This is a shot in the coming fight about CAFE.

Interesting and I have been following this.

Whether the American public understands it or not, smaller more
efficient vehicles are coming and are long over due.

If anyone thought gas prices will stay low, they need to do some
research.

Emissions are another big issue that was buried the last eight years
that is now being dealt with.

And from the looks of it, American companies will not be the producers
of these vehicles.

Indeed, it's high time people pay for their liability coverage by the pound.

If people want to drive an IRON chariot, let them pay the price in insurance
and the additonal damage they cause in an accident.


What about people who physically can't fit into those tiny 'death on
wheels' toys because of longer than average legs, or being disabled?
Every small vehicle I looked at the last time was impossible to drive
because my knees hit the dash, or I couldn't get in or out without help,
because of so little room under the steering wheel that I couldn't use a
cane to help me in or out of the driver's seat?
