Some of them are perhaps, but given that US companies own certain European and Japanese brands means they have access to the technology to do better. What has slowed implementation of this bounty is the preference of Americans for big cars, that of course is about to change. - Barry Sheridan Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:56:08 +0100 http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/tax-and-economy/bad,-not-terrible-200807071648/#comment-557 We only have so much money to spend on "choices" the rest goes on "essentials" so if we are not spending our money at M&S we are in Lidl or Aldi. 4x4s or SUVs are a fashion item for 99% of buyers.
