Stop pushing these gas guzzling cars and start promoting and featuring electric cars. This only perpetuates what we here in this country are trying to get away from. If VW and Acura wants someone to peddle their goods, have them do it themselves.

Hey Pissed-off Too, why be such a tree-hugger? Some people actually want to enjoy their jobs to work- and get there in 1/2 the time

I'm curious what car you drive. Bet it's either a V6 or V8 something. The VW 4 banger is not only fuel efficient but a lot more fun to drive than most cars out there. VW is a green company, recycles, produces the cleanest diesel in America, etc. Do your homework next time BEFORE you post, then you won't look so much like an idiot.

These aren't gas guzzling cars, and you're sorely mistaken if you think everyone is going to drive an electric car. I think you need to speak for yourself instead of saying that the country is trying to get away from vehicles that use gasoline.
