Time to craft letters to the editor!

There's a lot of complete bull crap in there, but one section I want to point out is near the bottom. Mr. Taylor claims the Prius gets 50 mpg, and the Insight gets 43 mpg highway. Then he claims the closest thing GM offers is the Cobalt, which he says gets only 25 mpg. The Cobalt does indeed get 25 mpg, in the city. Yes, he compaired two cars' highway mileage to a Chevy's city mileage, and passed this off as a fair comparison. This is exactly the source of GM's problems. Journalists give the public false impressions on INTENTIONALLY misleading statements. I hope you'll all join me in sending forceful responses to this dishonesty.
