I...My apologies for showing my personal beliefs. <br /><br />I just feel that if the demand for these types of vehicles were there the companies would send more of these cars to the market. It seems to me to be an example of law of supply. Higher demand results in a higher price intern equals higher supply. There really could be a demand but by speeding up the process companies might not be able to develope a car that is appealing enough to the buyer.Craig Ynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365024714761731636.post-34902681360101239112012-09-10T06:56:55.917-07:002012-09-10T06:56:55.917-07:00Just a quick note...

He just happens to be the first student who answered with opinion rather than objective response, so he's taking one for the team. Again, it's important to have opinions, but I want to see what you know, not what you think you know.

This is not the place for personal opinion...Craig, <br />This is not the place for personal opinion. Please be objective. By labeling the standard as "meddlesome", you reveal your personal bias. Can you present some evidence that consumers don't want fuel efficient cars? Can you honestly say that you think that the US gov't would ever "tell people what kind of car to buy"?

If there was a true need or want for cars with better fuel efficiency then you would see more car companies making them. By forcing car companies to make cars that consumer’s don’t want you are forcing car companies to make less of the cars that the consumer actually wants to buy, intern making them more expensive as well. How long before the consumer is told what kind of car he/she can buy?Craig Ynoreply@blogger.com
