Right on the money. Right on the money.
We are one. All of the earths countries have one thing in common and that is that we all share the same planet and all of it's resources.
So why is it so difficult for one country to examin what sucessful concepts are being done in other countries and to follow suit? Pbutteger vehicles with small turbo diesel injection engines make so much sense at this day in age after so many years of improvements. FWD should have been banned from production years ago for their tricky handling from all the torque steer. Not only that that if someone with a FWD vehicle wants to tow anything they are screwed.
In the UK the typical automobile is quipped with a manual transmission as well as a modern turbo diesel engine. (The FWD set up is still used unfortunately.)
In other words why not? Why not get the bright ideas from other countries and make it our own? On the other end of the spectrum, why not see the bad ideas from other countires and try to avoid it?
Why are the States still neglecting to switch from standard to metric which makes a hell of a lot more sense? Why is it we still don't have the low sulfer diesel yet?
