Re: 2 to read
I'm sorry but I can't tell what the NY Times wants. Are they complaining because the proposed CAFE standard isn't high enough?
As for Toyota joining the US automakers in opposing improved US CAFE standards, it really doesn't affect me. The US car companies have and will continue to suffer in the market place . . . of their own choosing. They have earned the right to make a wrong decision and live with the consequences.
I applaud Ford's Escape hybrid and hope to cheer GM's first serious hybrid when the arrive in Huntsville. But having once owned a Chevette, I'm going to remain reticent until I see and test the product. BTW, I have test driven a Ford Escape hybrid and that is one sweet ride.
As a suggestion Mike, you might split these into separate postings under Journalism and follow the posting guidelines by quoting enough to get a sense of each article. Although they share some things in common, I'm not sure we should try to discuss two articles in one thread. There is too much opportunity for confusion.
