Vote with your wallet. Nobody makes you buy overpriced, under-performing cars now do they? Import one of those nice Brazilian number and have a great time.

It is all about supply and demand...we here in the US have a need for instant gratification. WE NEED our cars and now no matter the cost. Even on days of so called "black balling" the gas companies, many people just go and do what they need at that moment. We cross picket lines, we as a society have no loyalty which causes for many to take advantage of our NEEDS. If only we would all say ENOUGH, then things would change. But at this point it won't happen, we are too self serving.

The automakers will make cars that are cheap and economical when people actually want to buy cheap underpowered mini-cars. As far as the unions, I can't speculate.

Watch this video, your right. Although you will be amazed by this report, we will never see it in our lifetime because of our society. And government here is a direct reflection of her citizens.

As long as they don't provide public transportation to all areas and we continue to buy it will never change.
