Remember our governing process: by the time congress will be done with it the current law in any form will be work of genius. Wait till our elected officials will demand cars and trucks to stop at red lights automatically and count falling chads off the ballot sheets.

Perhaps somebody in civilized world already solved this problem in intelligent way .. .. It is called higher gas prices. Lets everyone say add taxes, all together now.

God I am so tired of this country and its BS. I hate the fact that our government is being totally run by idiots and big business... and we elected them. Can we just recall everyone in Washington and try elections again?

Personally, I think they should have some pretty nice roses at the NHTSA headquarters this year. Is this an attempt to dazzle us with brilliance or baffle us with bullsh*t?

Honda is probably number 1 in this regard. Which is why they never built a stupid land yacht." What do you call the Pilot or Ridgeline? While I will agree that Honda is probably #1 for small fuel efficient vehicles I feel that I have to point out that neither of those two are anything close. “Honda strives to build effiecient cars already and has for years.

I'm not a big guy, but I still feel cramped even inside a mid-size SUV. Well, an increase in width wouldn’t hurt. I’m not a big guy, but I still feel cramped even inside a mid-size SUV.

We can already see trucks and SUVs taking a huge dive... being replaced by econocars and crossovers in droves. The auto makers aren't going to build what doesn't sell, and the american public is atleast intelligent enough to look at fuel economy numbers and realise that smaller is better.

We are the only idiotic country to use CAFE. That is the problem with government, there is always loopholes and the government can only be as smart as the citizens that it educates. With major urban center graduating less than 50% of high school students on time how can we not be surprised? Good! We are the only idiotic country to use CAFE.
