Thats why Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes and all the other non-US Car
manufacturers sell their "premium edition" multi cylinder high consumption
vehicles to the States. They never could sell lots of them over here.

They only dump the showboats on the USA because Bill Clinton/Algore
forgot to renew the EPA Fleet Miles Per Gallon requirements. They
were [expletive deleted] idiots. So much for "Earth in the Balance!"

And if they HAD signed it, we'd just have more expensive BMW's
and Mercedes here since the cost of the additional engineering would
be passed on to the consumer...And American's WOULD pay it...

People once said that Americans would stop smoking once the price
of cigs went over $2.00/pk...well, it's been that way for a long time,
save for a few cheap "generic" brands, and the "name brands" don't
seem to be in any distress.

Americans like what they like, and will pay to get what they
like. That's a "consumer driven" market.
