11. What?
That has nothing to do with what i said.

GM builds what sells! They don't build Vauxhall in the UK to make a point on fuel efficiency. They build them there because that's what sells there.

I have much dispute with the way GM and Chrysler ran their companies, but it has little to do with fuel efficiency. Americans weren't asking for it in large numbers, we weren't ready for it large numbers, and when they did release them, nobody bought them. (See the Colt or the new Nova.)

They lacked vision, yes. But, there's a difference between stupid and collusion.

And besides, the oil companies, no matter how they benefitted, still don't care about the car companies. So, suggesting they bailout the car companies is just a pipe dream.

They couldn't care less.

They're going to sell gas no matter who makes the cars.
