The UAW has changed somewhat. They aren't as obstructionist as they used to be. I do have to agree with you that they are still a problem. That's a large part of why manufacturing is leaving the country. GM and Ford CAN build high mileage cars quite easily. I have engineering friends who tell me it is no problem at all now that the fuels have the lower sulpher content (sulpher was a big problem). The problem is the majority of buyers don't want the vehicles unless they are big status symbols. Americans want trucks and SUV's which is why they have been the big sellers for years. How many insights and prius's have been sold? I might see one a year, and that's if I am lucky. Americans in general just aren't ready for the vehicles the rest of the world takes for granted. Que stated it very clearly. I don't care what it costs. I ain't about to drive no tin can while so many rednecks and soccer moms are driving tanks! My life is worth more than $3 gallon gas.
