I really don't understand why Detroit hasn't come out with a smallish, very high mileage hybrid. If they offered a hybrid that got better mileage than a Prius I think it would be a huge success. Instead they offer a hybrid Escape.... duh. Toyota cannot make money on the Prius, the most successful hybrid to date. How is Ford, who has far higher labor costs, going to make money on a knockoff? Stupid idea. They have to sell cars they can make money on. The choices are quite limited since they pay far more labor cost per vehicle than their competition. There are few, if any, cars in their lineups that will permit them to compete effectively with the Japanese OEMS on a head-to-head basis. They don't need new vehicles; that isn't the problem. The problem is they cannot make money on the ones they are already selling because the labor costs are too high. I don't know why, when people who are smarter than you and without liberal dogma continue to explain this to you, you don't just listen. That would avoid the need to repeat, over and over, the same things.
