Comment What of Corvettes? (Score 1) 746
And of Mustangs and other "affordable" cars with higher powered motors?
One thing I've noticed is that Euro/Asian countries tend to vehemently oppose "power-to-the-people", or that only the rich elite should be allowed to drive them, as if they were Homo Superior.
I'm not opposed to higher MPG, per se. If there were a 2010 Vette that got 52 MPG, I'd be quite ecstatic! But it seems that with most non-US countries, gas-guzzling cars are given a free pass insolongas they're driven by people in the top 2% income bracket (or higher). Why is it that the very rich get a free pass on the environment while us proletariat are relegated to only driving ho-hum automobiles in the name of saving the environment?
