DREAM CARS Concept Cars , real and not so real

I just got a book from Barnes and Noble , bargain clearence of course ,that is called Dream Cars. It lists the many concept cars over the years from major automakers all over the world. It gives a few details on over 150 vehicles.
It is very interesting to see how a few companies think big fast powerful cars are the future concept and others have small efficient vehicles.
One that looked very efficient was the FIAT 500. The very next week I saw that Car and Driver profiled how FIAT was in trouble with money sold off some parts and now has money to build cars for the new market and return to profitability. One car they picked is the FIAT 500. It will only be in Europe for now but could come to the US in a year or two. Like the Mini Cooper they see small is big.
There are a few that were all electric and some hybrids that just never got build. It seems like now is the time a few of these ideas could become real.
In the world gas costs about $7 a gallon. In the USA we subsidise big oil and fossil fuels. If we would just stop giving Billion dollar money to big oil that just made Billions in profits the USA would build more efficient vehicles.
The USA has the lowest fuel economy rating for new cars of any industrialized contry in the world. We have to wake up and learn it's a global world and we have to compete and be cleaner.

Please don't wait for our government to change the rules and force higher standards. We the people can make the change today. Get another vehicle used or new that is double the efficiency of the one you drive now. Drive less. Car pool. Drive smarter with combines trips and slower speeds. Make the changes in your world that you want to see and others will follow.

Be the solution not the problem. Together we can make a big difference no matter what the government standards are. We have to set our standards. Make yours high. Stop dreaming and act.
