Default Ford CEO is a bish

This article really pisses me off, Ford is nothing but a bunch of cry babies who can’t engineer anything or even think for a second about the environment.

Actually, after reading the article, I think its even funnier because ford's compact hybrid only gets 36 mpg :rofl: Hell, a civic can get that much :rofl:

This is sad. They can't compete in that market, so they go and hate....

"Buy Japanese Bill...." :slap: Might as well call it the "Unpatriotic Bill"

I'm surprised other automakers weren't as vocal about their opposition to this. I do think that in some ways it is unfair to automakers who don't have hybrids that meet these requirements, b/c it is in effect favoring a very narrow range of vehicles. However, I will admit that Ford's engineering prowess remains questionable and that their hybrid technology is behind that of Toyota or Honda.

There is also a tax rebate for gas guzzlers over a certain number of pounds, in which cars like the Suburban, H2, or other SUVs sold.
