Yeah well blaming the car industry is easy. If there is anything I have learned they like an easy way out matter how impartical or expensive it is thats what they want. If the Hollywood liberals driving Prius's like Al Gore and if they get anymore lobbying power in Washington not only will it be an end to GM, but Toyota will go down as a close second. Aside of the Prius hybrid, Toyota is scared as they should be in part because of the 4Runner, FJ, Land Cruiser, Seqouia, Tacoma and Tundra. (Especially the Turd, Chevy and GMC have class leading fuel economy by far.) Actually my favorite photo of George Bush is him on his ranch in his F-250, thats what America is. Not Al Gore driving a Prius. But hey what can I say, the Toyota biased media, the Global warming hype and the Hollywood stars all driving Prius's all have sadly taken there tole! What did we think would happen? On all accounts Detriot along with other auto makers should be in deeper $h! than they are currently in. No thanks to Obama, and Gore types. Saving the envoriment is good, but can be only taken so far. GIVE ME V8's, STYLE and AMERICAN CARS! The new media blitz and Prius phase will burn out but in case GM has the game changing Volt. That will be one to watch. Over all my point is screw the crazy tree huggers. I own 3 midsize or larger American cars with V6's do I count as a gas waster? I hope so because I could be proud of that. But if not... Maybe I should buy a 2007 Silverado Classic 3500HD LT 8100 Vortec V8 Alison Trans Ext. Cab, Long Box, with 2WD for sale on someones lawn in my area just to burn gas? Just something to think about with only 2.5K on its only 21,750.00 that is a hell of a deal on a 40K truck! But now that would just be crude, so would the I like big gas hogging American cars bumper sticker I would put on it, with a photo of someone pissing on a Prius and a tree! Sorry for this rant but where is the country is going is scary. At least we still have country music.
