With Obama's new fuel standards, possible because the government now owns the auto business, we will soon have less choice when it comes to what we are allowed to drive.
That being said, what cars and/or trucks do you want to buy before 2016?
My first choice:
6 speed manual transmission
6.1 liter Hemi.
425 Horse Power before tweaking.
Choice 2:
When the death toll starts rising sharply because these little tin cans can't hold up in a crash, things will change again. It's a trade off - great fuel efficiency and smaller, lighter cars or less fuel efficiency and bigger, heavy cars. I'll take the latter.
just hope you're not one of the statistics that change everyone's mind
I currently own a 2004 Pilot. It only has 35,000 miles on it and I will keep the thing till it falls apart. The car that replaces it will be sizable, possibly another Pilot or SUV. Will big cars be completely gone in the future? I don't see that; there's a demand for 'family' type vehicles, imo. If my family of 5 plus the dog were to take a vacation down the shore for a week, we currently all fit into the Pilot. If we owned two small cars (Corollas or the like) two cars would be taken because we simply don't all fit. How's that better?
oh they won't be gone. They will however be unaffordable. Obama wants us all to drive those faggy little lighter than a tin can Smart cars
I wouldn't drive one of those glorified golf carts, but there is no reason we can't raise fuel standards.
In the 80's I seem to recall that cars got better gas mileage than today's cars. I remember 40+mpg. What happened?

They were all piece of shit cars that fell apart after the first 50,000 miles. And it took two minutes to go from zero to 60.

Didn't you ever see the movie "The Italian Job"?? Charleze Therron stays ahead of the bad guys by driving one of those things up, over and around places a normal car or truck couldn't. You should at least have one for fun or for backup for when your Monster Truck loses out to another Monster Truck.

I want to see Herr Obama explain how he's going to get an 8-10-12 ft ladder and 1000 ft of 10ft long conduit in one of his little Hot Wheels.
I drive a truck because I need one and he can piss off.
there were lots of small cars in Europe when I lived there (89-95). Primarily that was because people had so little disposable income. The primary lesson though, and I believe it underlies some of the thinking in The Prophet's administration, was that these cars mostly did duty in highly populus areas. Like the east coast is: Boston-Washington corridor.
Believe Washington is playing a much bigger game. The Cafe standards topic is just the tip of the iceberg. At the end of the day, I believe we need to move to electric cars and nuclear energy. I think they are taking the old approach to easing everyone into whatever they are really planning so the whole movement cannot be voted down to being still born. Ever watch the expressions of some of The Prophet's domestic agency heads? I see quiet cats with birds in their mouths. These are agenda people.
EXCEPT Obama and his chosen are OPPOSED to Nuclear power.
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama favors the continued use of nuclear power and sees it as an integral and inevitable part of any effective U.S. energy policy, especially in light of growing concerns about global warming.
Now, imagine if the car in this picture was a Smart Car or something similar rather than a VW Crossfox. You probably wouldn't be able to find the car.
If you hit a semi head on...not much is gonna survive!
Having "glorified golf carts" for non-highway city driving wold not only reduce the cost of oil imports but reduce the demand for gas.. Any of you stupid fucking caitalistas want to venture a guess on what that does to gas prices? And, to boot, heaven fucking forbid we actually develop a product here in the US that can't be made by goddamn slaves in a third world country. Whats the matter with Kansas, indeed.
Some of these are pretty cool. Something for everyone? Skull should take note of #3. And #4 looks like a decent riding sedan.
