While in the middle of a recession GM is still marketing almost 90% of their products to the 5% of people who can now secure a loan to purchase the vehicle.
This is why we should never bailout any of the big three in IMHO.
A UK Ford Focus clean diesel which gets 50+ MPG this must be a joke.
The government here needs to stop distorting the highway fund tax base by charging higher rates for diesel then letting companies use the expense of purchasing diesel as a deduction. This keeps diesel artificially high for consumers forcing them to use only gasoline as a primary fuel.
If only common sense could be brought into the energy policy we could probably be 10% more efficient right out of the gate without changing a single thing.
