It says Ford could shed 800 lbs from the new (2014) F150. GM might lose 500 lbs by 2016 and 1000+ by 2020.

Some of the comments at the website, from left-wing globalists, are scary...

 

I agree with jmmec, do we really have people that ignorant and crazy in this world?

 

They are inching closer to the majority.

 

Look at how easily the current POTUS was elected and there's your answer!

 

Wow. I just read some of those comments. If the F150 gets about 30 mpg by 2016 that is going to be better than a lot of cars these liberals are driving now. Obama before he ran for president drove a Chrylser 300C which gets less mpg than a 2011 F150. A couple months after he bought a Escape Hybrid for show and drove around in big SUV's. What a phony hypocrite.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

Wow. Just. Wow.

 

Don't worry. People are wising up. Those left wing loonies won't be around much longer.

 

November elections are proof of that... Love seeing looney Pelosi flying home commercial instead of in a private large jet. WTF?

Now if can loose her and Reid we'd be ok and can handle Hussein who likes to do this to Muslim countries

 

Umm, wow, those were some interesting comments. I really hate stupid people.

 

soon enough they will be made of all plastic

im not driven some dumb smart car that has only enough room for a suit case.
you ever see these people move...they show up in a smart car followed by their parent's SUV or TRUCK. god help them when they need to buy a new washer or something to fix the house.....the purchase will be delivered in a big ol truck





"In my opinion, it would be excellent to tax the vehicles based on weight. The people who buys these massive vehicles for commuting purposes should pay tremendously a lot more for the privilege of getting the upper hand in the collisions. They should also have to absorb the higher insurance premiums for being the survivor in collisions. The heavy weight wears off the road more, and it makes it safer for themselves at the expense of the lighter vehicles, and these vehicles pollute more. So it is fair to tax the heavy vehicles more. Of course commercial vehicles can have exemption."

i dont even know where to start with this comment:eek
