Re: Bob Lutz on the Future of Green Cars and Fuel Economy
Interesting. Thanks for that.
They 'seemed' more intune with what the 'wealthy' are going to purchase then the rest of us 'regular folks'.
Speaking of a Cadillac getting 100mpg.
They made fun of people purchasing a Prius simply as a 'fashion statement' more then people that are actually trying to save money.
Making fun of people that live in Olympia (Wash?) as if they are all Hippies.
I lived in Olympia Washington and it is not all hippies.
All the while they are at a very expensive hotel/resort having a very expensive meal along the seashore.
What they did not really take a look at was what is their base of people looking to purchase.
The Rank & File people that need a fuel efficent vehicle.
That to me is where they should be looking at. Not just the wealthy.
I am sure there are people that buy a hybrid so they 'look' like they give a damn about the enviroment and so forth.
However, that is not so much the case anymore. Not at over $4.00/gallon.
My best friend bought a Camry Hybrid through me at the Toyota dealer I bought my car at.
I got him a pretty sweet deal last year.
Since that time two of his co-workers went to that same dealershp and bought Camry hybrids as well.
Not because of any fashion statement but, because they all travel a lot.
They drive a lot of distance between Detroit & Chicago and in between and a lot with in those cities.
They need a fuel efficent vehicle.
That was another thing I did not hear them speak about.
The Camry Hybrid or the Malibu Hybrid.
The 'regular people's cars'.
They all seemed 'out of touch' in my opinion and the rest of the gang there was doing some serious butt kissing with Bob Lutz.
Were they all Yes Men/Women?
