US Big Three Auto Companies Commit to Making Cars That People Don’t Want.

Both my mother and father made a solemn vow that as long as they lived, they would never buy a German or a Japanese car. No matter how well they were made. They were the enemies. They were the ones who killed nearly half a million Americans. Period.

And that value system was transported to me. In honor of my parents’ values, I couldn’t in good conscience buy a Japanese or German car.

I’ve been thinking that after all these years, I may have to change my mind. The American auto companies, which are so often bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, have made a pronouncement that they intend, in the next few years, to stop making and assembling gas-engine cars.

Meanwhile, in Japan: Toyota predicts most of its vehicles will still use gas in 2030.

It’s nice to know that somebody still caters to the vast majority of buyers.
