Yet not a word about GM whose entire Chevy lineup contained just three cars compared to its six SUV's. One of those cars is the Corvette, not exactly a best seller, given its small market share.
Nor any word on Ford, which was almost as guilty as GM in the bias towards the U.S.
Built like a Mercedes 3639Carriage weight has nothing to do with efficiency. A train is more efficient due to the roadbed and lack of rolling resistance...
While DC is cutting jobs, one should note that those jobs will come off the roster of executives. Addditionally, 75% of those jobs are being cut in DC headquarters homeland, Germany. Further, while the weight of vehicles is noted, what isn't noted is the fact that each of those vehicles was the ONLY offering from that particular nameplate in each market segment. Dodge has ONE SUV, not six like Chevy.
But I suspect none of that matters, as the author of the original post is likely just another whiner in a long line of those concerned about oil consumption. If you are that concerned sir, take up the cause of rail transport with your congresssman. A good rail system will cut use of personal vehicles and lower the number of tractor trailers on the highways. This will save far more fuel than a Dodge Durango that weighs 600 pounds less.
