Hi,


Being from Europe, one thing we dont understand, is why the US doesnt do something drastic about their gas-guzzlers.


We cannot understand the american car, huge, heavy, big engine, guzzling gas.


Can someone explain why the market isnt shifting - and why people still buy suburbans, explores, F150/250 etc?


I agree, some have the need for such a vehicle, but most americans could do with a Peugot 107?


Guess that a move from giant gas-guzlers to mini-cars, would be the biggest environmental benefit the US could do?


Happy driVWing
