What infuriates me most is that GM, Ford, DB-Chrysler all saw these FRANKFURT Autoshow developments YEARS ago, and ignored them,.... because marketing told them Americans want Huge. So we have monster vehicles, in size, in luxury amenities, in the green badged Escalade hybrids, Sierra 3/4T hybrids and even Hummer Hybrids, by plaque names only. Nothing efficient about these behemoths.
The path is clear for now: See VW, Diesel TDI Hi pressure rails, w/scrubbers, 1 ltr engines with hybrid/elect. augmentation, BUT the main change is LOSE THE MASS/weight we seem to want to shovel ourselves around in!
How stupid can DUMB get? Pushing around two and a half tons of metal with over three hundred HP? electroservo motors (moving mirrors, seats, rear door openers etc)... and ADVERTIZING adapting huge 318 HP engines to do things to appease US buyers (Europe's new approaches could leapfrog) IS INSANE.
Instead? You heard the new chairman GM state it. "Take a good look at us now." I am. Same BS,. We are really stupid here....
Iacocca was right whenm he stated we need leaderrs, not cowtowing wimps.
10 years and then it's time to stop producing gasoline cars.
it is just SUV snack food
A lot of these cars shown here are too expensive or impractical.
How many people are going to buy that 1-seater?
How does that 18MPG, V8 engine X6 from BMW help?
Thank God at least BMW remains as dumb as GM.... 6,000 lbs GVW X-6M with over 550 HP is GREAT marketing, guys,,,
we will condemn those driving these kind of statements within five years -when gas hits $6.00/G next summer...
It's about time automakers realized that cheap oil won't last forever.
