"At auto show, Big Three optimism; Fuel efficiency in unveiled products" by Associated Press | January 12, 2009
DETROIT - Just weeks after ending a year marked by dismal sales and a federal bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, US automakers yesterday highlighted new products with a focus on fuel efficiency that they say will help ensure their cars and trucks roll off assembly lines for years to come.
Yeah, the only question is WHERE they roll of from!
Amid cheering employees, dealers, and retirees at the North American International Auto Show, General Motors Corp. announced plans to build a 40-mile-per-gallon minicar for the US market and unveiled an electric-powered Cadillac concept car....
WTF? A CADILLAC is "fuel efficient?"
Last month, the Bush administration approved $17.4 billion in short-term loans for GM and Chrysler after they warned they could run out of cash....
I'm running out of cash, and I would only need a few thousand!
Where's MY BAILOUT?
The chief executives of all three yesterday told reporters their companies are on a path to recovery and are here to stay....
Does that mean HERE in America here, or.... ?
GM's stable of 17 new or upcoming models displayed yesterday also had a focus on fuel efficiency. But the surprise was the unveiling of the Cadillac Converj concept car, designed to go 40 miles on electric power alone after being recharged from a standard wall outlet. A small gasoline engine would extend the range to hundreds of miles....
--more--"You know, I was just wondering: where are they getting the ELECTRICITY?
Coal?
And ever notice the enviro-protesters NEVER PROTEST ELITE ACTIVITIES like skiing or the WAR MACHINE, or NASCAR?
"NASCAR coverage was also expanded on the cable channel New England Sports Network, which is owned by New England Sports Ventures, the parent company of the Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group. The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, holds a 17 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures."
Oh.
Yeah, TELL ME AGAIN about GLOBAL WARMING and the ENVIRONMENT!!
