OK, let me get this straight. The big three are completely at fault for only selling big SUV's and are essentially the crack dealers of large autos. I have yet to hear anyone comment about all the people that bought the SUVs. Is anyone out there in sales? Just because you make it does not mean that it will sell. There must be demand and the demand from the American people is for big V8 powered iron.

And have you ever been in a Toyota Tundra or Sequoia. Talk about big. Or a 760 BMW? Lexus LS? Infinity QX?

I really believe that GM and the other 2 have been building what America wants and will buy. No one is ramming these big things down the public's throat.

I drive a small 4 cylinder Chevy pickup that gets 20 mpg. I also have a Corvette that gets 28 mpg. Yes 28, not a typo. Both from GM.

Just my take on this. PS... love the show.

Michael Moore's comments about how to save the auto industry was the most intelligent and thoughtful presentation that I have heard for months. Having lived in Mich. for 45 years and watched the industry not deliver, his words should be heard by every member of congress before any MONEY is loaned/given/stolen by this industry. Yes, we do need cars although not all of us. Look at Europe where public transportation can get you anywhere. Putting money into trains, buses, streetcars, etc. would do more to unlock our financial situation than just about anything. Please forward this interview to all members of Congress and all the news stations Fox, Msnbc, cnn, etc. These are important ideas for our economy which may well be our last gasp.
thank you
