I have an idea; if our government is going to spend our tax dollars on bailing out dinosaurs who resist innovations that are economical for consumers and environmentally friendly and instead produce unreliable vehicles programmed to die when their warranties expire that guzzle massive amounts of gas (because they are the lap dogs of the oil industry), perhaps they could streamline and reform the industry. Why not merge GM, Ford, and Chrysler into one company and reduce the number of vehicle models to a half dozen or less (compact / coupe / sedan / wagon / van / suv) and make them all plug-in hybrids with flex-fuel tanks and make them easily upgradeable to other upcoming energy and safety technologies, and then only ship a few examples to each metropolitan area, and then have customers custom design their own on a computer and have it made to order? Just a thought…
