Obama does it again. Shortly after taking over GM and Chrysler, he announces that CAFE standards will be raised to 39 mpg, and done 4 years earlier than originally planned. And he's got the major automakers, foreign and domestic, on board with him.
Now, there's only one car sold in America that currently meets that fuel economy standard. It's the Toyota Pruis, a small hybrid.
As we saw recently thanks to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, small cars are much less safe that large cars when in accidents with larger cars. For example, when the car that the Prius is based on, the Toyota Yaris, was crashed into a Toyota Camry, one of the doors flew open and the passenger compartment was breached.
The only way that these CAFE standards can be met is if the automakers sell a lot more small cars, most likely hybrids like the Prius. Small cars are much less safe than large cars, SUVs, or trucks.
How many people need to die so that liberals can feel like they're doing something about global warming?
And that doesn't even get into cost. A Yaris costs $15k. A Prius costs $25k. Do the math. I hope you like your 10 year old Ford Explorer, because you're not going to be able to afford to replace it with something new. How are you going to get by when it is a 25 year old Explorer? How does keeping people in old cars helping to lower emissions of greenhouse gases?

The good news,is that only libtard weenies worried about global warming,and left-wing nutjobs will be driving these pieces of crapola,which will now be made by Fiat/Chrysler. I can hardly wait to target these vehicles in my gas-guzzling 8 passenger SUV.
