Like Wayne said, hope you were typing with a lollipop in cheek...you blame the Government for your auto mfgr's demise, maybe Toyo and Honda paid attention to minimum requirements and made the appropriate changes and are reaping the benifits while you cry foul. In my opinion, about the only place that still makes land yachts to haul your similarly sized butt around is North America, you just can't get away from large, more power, more gas. It's been nothing but a "one upmanship" for the past decade if not more, my truck makes 300 hp, next year, the other one cranks it up 50 HP, etc, never ending. If your companies had been paying attention and listening for the last few years, the multitudes have been screaming for more fuel efficiency, but no, more power. So guess what, sucks to be in the Big 3, and I drive a krautmobile, 'cause it works and it's cheap on gas.
