I do agree with you it does take auto manufactures YEARS to do anything.
We as a country should be treating the oil situation as a wake up call! We are the greatest country in the world with some of the best minds! We should be able to do this without batting an eye!
you just cant snap your fingers and have a newly designed car, it doesnt work that way. it takes them years to do anything because its a car, not a happy meal toy.
And sorry to say, but every country thinks its the "greatest" country in the world. Its that idea of american supremacy idealism that gets us into trouble and pisses the world off. Also, no one can built a revolutionary car so fast "without batting an eye". thats stupid

While not world changing,
"Pushing the concept of small and low-cost to the extreme, a British design house recently unveiled a minicar that is about one-third smaller than the diminutive Daimler Smart ForTwo. Last week, Gordon Murray Design's T.25 was unveiled—well, at least in the form of a napkin sketch. The product's goal is to deliver up to 75 mile-per-gallon fuel economy along with the capability of obtaining 80 miles per hour on a freeway. Details are a bit thin at this stage, but Gordon Murray Design is shopping around its plans to auto companies in hopes of finding a company willing to license and build the car—according to Mohr Davidow Ventures, the Silicon Valley venture capital company providing the key financial backing. They estimate that the initial car—and other variations in the works—could be in production as early as 2011 or 12."
This is one small design team not an entire nation! So yes I do think it is possible.
I'm sure that every country in the world does think that they are. Having spent time in at least 10 different countries myself, I can say that from my experience the USA IS the best country in the world!
It’s the country my forefathers died for and if need be I would die for.
If you think not then you might need to move to the country you think is! After all if you’re not happy you are free to do so! Just another perk we take for granted here in the US! Can’t say that about a lot of other countries in the world. Heck come to think about it, IF you can say that about another country the US is more then likely the reason! Just more proof that we are the best!!

1 thing you forget to mention about all these cars, they are increadibly small and dangerous in an accident. They also cannot be used for anything except back and forth to grandmas house. You cant even get the damn groceries in one of them, not to mention hauling anything.
Actually, you just helped reenforce my point, not counter it. 2012 is 4 years away, and its a possibility, not definite. Thank you for reenforcing my point.
Point??? If your point was for a SMALL design team! If they can do it in 4 years our entire country should be able to do it in two!
You know if people would quit thinking it took so long to do anything the country would be a better place!
Let me guess, you must work for the government??
