But, the only freaking reason we don't have more fuel efficient vehicles, including more fuel efficient hauling vehicles, is because of Ford, GM, and Chrysler interfering in our government.
Give us the same choice.

Depends. If supply exceeds demand, you are going to have to lower the price.
Would you be willing to pay for it? So far the answer is "no" from Citizen Joe. IF the Big 2.5 can offer a car that gets 20 mpg and another that offers 30 mpg, do you think anyone will buy the 20 mpg one? HOWEVER, for that to happen, all things have to be equal. IOW, if MB offered me a E320 CDI that gets 20 mpg and an E320 CDI that gets me 30 mpg, I'd be all over the latter. UNLESS there is a price difference. Then the equation gets more murky. Yes, the Big 2.5 can make anything you want. However, the problem is that you won't buy it at that price.
You got a choice. If you don't show them that you want a more fuel efficient vehicle by doing more than flapping your gums, they will take note. They would be making more pink trucks if those would sell to more than Mary Kay people.
