65 mpg... And You Can't Have One

Ford is building a car that gets 65 mpg that will not be sold in the United states, because Ford believes Americans will not buy a diesel powered car. More to the point, Ford claims they can't afford to sell the car here.

Ford claims it needs 350 million to build a plant(in Mexico or America) that can produce the diesel engine - currently mostly hand-crafted in Britain and waaay too expensive - that comes with this car... and Ford claims they cannot afford it.

How many things can you count that are wrong - totally upside down - with this story?

Bend over America, Ford and the Europeans/British are getting ready to put it to you, while that idiot Bush and our sold-out Congress do nothing but argue over drilling.
