Oh, wow... what a hoot! Loooved the Nissan electric prototype... where is it fifteen years later? The House has done little of nothing in the last decade and a half about mandating higher fuel efficiency, but it's funny to see Chris Wallace (so young!) and his reporter pontificating about US drivers demanding more power instead of better fuel efficiency, and the Big Three griping about how small better fuel-efficient cars would have to be to achieve any savings... while the Japanese were basically saying, "bring it on..."
I basically believe in keeping the government out of our choices, and letting the market decide in a free-enterprise experiment... so keep the pols out of this, just let the Japanese continue to bring their "little" cars over (like the Insight, and the Civic, and the Prius), and see how many more they sell than lame hybrid Escapes and Vues...

All well, I'm off to the SEMA show next week so we'll see if they have anything new of interest to unveil.
