Henry Payne frequently comments that Americans prefer large vehicles, much to the consternation of their “betters” in government and the Big Green lobby.
Here’s another chapter of that story. The other day I pulled into a commercial parking lot. I noticed that the five cars on the other side of the parking median (the one directly in front, plus two on either side), had grill ornaments indicating they were from the same manufacturer. In today’s wide-open marketplace, that was remarkable.
Then I took stock of the vehicles themselves, all Fords. One was an SUV, two were F-150 pickup trucks, and two were sedans. There was one Fusion, the micro-car, but on balance, it was clear that the owners of the five cars, collectively, were making the “wrong” choices, at least in the eyes of the government-green complex.
