Interfering in corporate policy and telling companies what to make doesn't work -- because it drives up vehicle costs, and screws with the consumer....either way, WE are going to pay - and frankly, I'd rather have my money used effectively.

Heck, maybe we might pay off some of our debt in the meantime.

That's exactly what is done up here. It certainly gets people thinking when they go car shopping.
