bringing diesel engine vehicles like the 50+mpg Fiesta is a bad
idea to the economy, let alone the small American cars running
upwards of 30+mpg in Europe. I say let the US automakers die in
their own country for not trying hard enough to bring what
consumers want. But that's just me.  RE: GM Bailout By omnicronx

with all the mom's driving SUV's, families with minivans, and
rich people buying high end sports cars could care less. Until
gas prices went up, the American consumer did not want what you
are describing.  I agree with you that there is absolutely no
reason why we should not have cars like a 50mpg Fiesta, but just
from looking at the parking lot outside my work, I can see that
most people could care less, or they would be buying 40+mpg
cobalts and civics.
