Re: The US Auto Crisis
I agree with the above comment. Making the hybrid SUVs that improve fuel economy by such a significant percentage is not a "lame attempt." Like it or not, some people are always going to need SUVs, while others just want them whether they need them or not. A 35% increase in fuel economy is pretty damn good.
I'd also question Chrysler being at the forefront of design. They have had some hits to be sure. And I love the Challenger too. But is it really groundbreaking to do an extremely faithful copy of a 35-year old design? I'm all for copying that design, but I wouldn't exactly call it groundbreaking.
