First, Ford makes a 65 MPG car, but "can't bring it to America." Can't? Try won't. If they wanted it to happen (and if enough car buyers demand it) they could do it. Sad.
Second - Pictures of GM's new Volt hybrid have been leaked. Wow what an ugly car - and it doesn't even have the "Prius shape" which seems to be necesary in this market. I don't understand how they expect buyers to purchase this car when, at an estimated $40,000 price tag, it's the 2nd most expensive car in Chevrolet's lineup. Second only to the $47,000 (base price) Corvette! I simply don't understand who Lutz thinks is going to buy this car when priced against the existing Prius at $22,000 or the upcoming Honda Insight at $18,500.
Good news though - Americans are getting smarter about public transportation. According to Time.com mass transit usage grew 5.2% in the 2nd quarter of this year.
