Well at least it's not available until they set regulations on who gets what and what for... I mean, I'm sure the folks writing those regs are on our side and not auto company lobbyists... right?

CNN had an article about a month or so ago talking about a fuel-efficient diesel Ford sold only outside the US. It's their best gas mileage vehicle and Ford won't make it available for American drivers.

If they want our money, they have to sell us the cars we want. I bought a Honda because it gets 70 mpg.
