Reported in the New York Times today: GM in concert with a manufacturer in China is producing a basic mini van there that sells (there) for $5,000 and gets 43 miles per gallon.
I know if that mini van was produced here it would have to be sold for more and probably upgraded because we Americans need more padding in the seats but.......
If GM can produce the Hummer here with gas prices averaging as of yesterday $2.34 per gallon, why not a mini van here that gets 43 miles per gallon? Do you think this could help us with our dependence on foreign oil? :duel
