Yea its amazing what the cubans have done with all the 40 + year old American car's, looks like they left the dealership yesterday. But the cubans have alot of Eastern Europe and some western europe car's. It was only an American embargo till a few years ago, so they do have alot of other non american car's in cuba. I've seen pics of Volvo's and lada's in cuba...

Just being sarcastic. Seems things are going that way though with most newer cars. With all the talk about protecting the enviroment no one looks at the impact car factories have on natural resources and the enviroment. While the disposable car might work well for an automakers bottom line its certainly a waste of resources.

If all car makers stopped making vehicles tomorrow the world would still have enough cars for the next 50 years. Take a look at the Cubans for example. They have not had cars or parts imported there for years yet seem to be able to keep their cars running.
