But to each their own. Some of us live on a budget. What I don't understand is why you conservatives brought up so much hate in your comments about the smart car. In reading the comments, you called liberals everything under the sun, and brought up arguments which were totally unrelated to a conversation about Smart cars or fuel economy, do you feel so insecure you need to call us socialist, facist and communist? We aren't the ones who are desolving the "bill of rights" starting a war for WMDs, oh yeah it was 9/11, oh yeah it was now what was it again, sorry, I don't remember this weeks reason, but no matter I am sure you will create a new reason soon and when that one fails more after that (hint, think oil, and revenge for daddy).

For most a mini-van will do the same job for less money and better gas mileage, and that is just those who "need" the room, I see many people driving SUV's solo, what is all that space for anyway their ego?

Also, it was "W" who had been in office for over seven years when gas prices went above $4 per/gal and the U.S. auto industry almost went bust. If we hadn't "bailed-out" two of the big three we would now have the lone one. Also, if cafe standards are so restrictive why has Japan, South Korea, and Germany been able to produce cars which get rather good gas mileage, look good and actually work? (I have two BMW both get fair gas mileage, one has 198000 miles and the other 285000 miles and both...
