Yes my friend, what's wrong with the US (and Canada soon), well, you elected a oil oriented president, a scary one if i may add... i also watch the movie about the EV-1, how GM killed (or Bush gov.) is own genious project. If you need a small compact car, come here in Montreal, that is all we have in our street. TDI, Civic Hybrid, Mercedes Smart, Prius, Yaris... and so on. When i travel in North America, city like Houston as an example, i'm amaze of how big are the vehicle???? Think Big, Big is beautiful, big is better... I can not believe what you just wrote about that 6000$ tax rebate, this is simply madness. I had an argument with a Type2 list member last year, of course... in a case of an accident, he was telling me that his BIG Suv would detroy my Civic, and he and his family would be safe and me dead... but a Hummer would destroy his SUV, so he was thinking of buying a bigger one (that the short version of that story), i was ask to stop that thread of leave the list, i left the list. All empire go down one day. Ben |
