Muck. Please. Feel free to go with the cheap shot, but when you read my whole post, I also said:

But here we are talking about something that is more important than consumer preference. I mean, the market would want land yachts that got 7 mpg. Assuming that is what the market wants, you cannot reconcile the need for less dependence on foreign oil with the market forces wanting less efficient vehicles.

So I was talking about more than just freedom of choice. Am I wrong is assuming that you do not see a reduction in fossil fuel use as a goal in a multi-pronged effort to lessen our dependence on foreign nations and their oil? If I am wrong, then help me with the difficult problem of allowing choice, but dealing with the outcome if the "choice" is bad for the long term security of the country in a period where the demand for oil will be increasing as China and India's demand sky-rockets.
I get that you have your sarcasm button working, but I do not see you doing anything but pot-shotting lines of my post (with some valid points to be sure) without addressing what I feel is the larger issue.
To what do you attribute the recent failure of the Big 3? What is you best idea of a "fix"? And I would love to hear your solution more than I want to hear why other's proposed solutions are wrong...but hey - it's your $79.95.
