What? No unions jokes?
On a more serious note, the car bailout is a fraction of the bank bailout, but the bankers, who caused said crisis are upper class so we can’t screw them over.
On the other hand, the car industry is middle class workers who vote democratic- philibuster time!
On the gripping hand, if the US loses the big three, its auto-industry will be entirely gone. And if we lose all the manufacturing capabilities, we will be like Iceland.

I love FORD cars..as long as they are made in Japan by Mazda. LOL. Had a Ford Laser, a Mazda 323 dressed up as a Ford. The mechanics always called it a Mazda, never a Ford. In Australia, there’s a joke about Ford. It is an acronym for Found On Road Dead.

If you truly want a Prius you really haven’t done your homework on either its supposed environmental friendliness or its reliability. Wait for the Hydrogen cars. In the mean time the most environmentally friendly thing you can do is keep your old car running for longer.
