This post is so full of fail that it has gone past "epic" and into "lengendary" territory.

I'm going to ignore most of it and address the most crazy point... This has nothing to do with lobbying or wanting to sell crappy cars. There's no profit in econoboxes. There's no reason they would want to make it so they need to sell more of them.
