As car companies try and force us to love the SUV or the new latest greatest gas guzzler called the “crossover vehicle”, Ford has become the epitomy of everything that is wrong with American Car makers.
They just don’t get it, they never will, case in point right here… Where this week if you listened to the radio you heard an ad trying to tell us to contact our local politicians about a law that might GET THIS! (it played on WDEL a few times) to increase gas mileage requirement for Trucks. Can you believe it? Gas at $3 a gallon and they run and ad that villafies congress in their quest to increase mpg in pick ups and “big vehicle” I heard the commercial and short of offering a can of dip and a shotgun you might they should have had dixie playing in the background and should have announced where the next lynching will be….
the great thing is though that Ford and their ilk, don’t have too get it, the executives are loaded and they can just whine to congress about how restricting they are being. Wahhhhh we aren’t rich enough! wahhhhh freee market….wahhhhhhh! Who really cares if a few thousand people lose their jobs, after all what would be the point of making a car that gets awesome fuel mileage, is good for the environment and doesn’t need to be repaired every other month.
Buy American! Blame the Unions! woohooo Democracy!
