Hall of Shame ?

Unfortunately, the automotive industry (particularly the North American automakers) is not short on half measures in its relentless attempt attempt at watering down what is technically achievable.

An example of this is the lackluster push towards smaller, cleaner and safer automobiles.  To these automakers and many of their higher brass executives, size, efficiency, and safety remain mutually exclusive.

So that is why we have a "Hall of Shame" section on this site: To identify these half measures and to educate new and used car buyers on what is truly a bad automotive option.

In this list, we address the issues of:

• Ethanol
• Unnecessary and harmful pursuit of "latent horsepower".
• Road Rage and how it impacts Fuel Economy and waste.
• Unnecessary idling, the persistent scourge of wastefulness in our times.
• Industry, particularly the automotive sector and how they promote and perpetuate the illusion of what is desirable versus what is necessary.

If you have any concerns or comments about any of these topics, please do not hesitate contacting us.  We always enjoy hearing from our readers.
