Muck. You have to know that "the competition" would not have been investing billions in producing larger trucks & SUVs if the CAFE standards had been raised. Which was my point.
Now, it is fine to say you do not care about CAFE standards, but as they impact the type of vehicle allowed to be made and sold, they have a very direct impact on what type of vehicles the industry sells and how they tool up.
But as long as you think that none of that mattered ( the millions in lobbiest money spent on defeating CAFE reqs was a pretty silly expense then I guess

), please tell me the cause of our domestic auto industry's woes.
I am serious. What in your opinion is the problem(s)? Do you put this all at the foot of the UAW?
