Ford's So-Called Fuel Efficient Vehicles

Ford has a plan for rolling out more fuel efficient vehicles. Like the Taurus SHO with a 3.5 liter turbocharged V6.

Hello?

I'm sure that car will get at least 15 MPG. Maybe even 18.

As far as I'm concerned, you don't get to call a passenger vehicle "fuel efficient" unless you're getting at least 30 MPG, and I'm not particularly impressed with that number.

Now, in all fairness, Ford has other vehicles in their future lineup. I'm not sure why it's a future lineup, but there you have it.

Toyota debuted their Prius prototype in 1995. The car was seen on American roads by 2001. My 2007 model gets 50 MPG. No American company even has a prototype that touches my Prius.

WTF?

This is why the US has no chance to lead the world in moving us OFF the petroleum-based economy. And it's why Ford, Chevy and Chrysler all deserve to fail.
