FORD: Bring some of those 60-mpg cars over from Europe. Make an Electric F-150 for the truck fans - you did it with the Ranger, remember?. And bring back the CNG Crown Vic, too.

CHRYSLER: No hope for you guys. Hey, wait..Remember that turbine car you made almost 45 years ago?

GM: Admit you were wrong...and re-issue the EV-1. And get rid of DexCool(TM). Forever.

2. You do realize that those 60-mpg cars in Europe don't meet U.S. crash standards?
...and an electric F-150 may very well not be feasible.

I don't care WHAT they build as long as it's a car that makes business sense (one that people will buy) and they build it in the U.S. with U.S. parts (union shops).
