New car concepts that will have to wait…

It is true that the big three had no crystal ball in which to gaze and see the rise of gas prices.   So it goes.  This is the way of a free market.  You don’t always bring things on yourself, they just kind of happen.  It is unfortunate, but it is part of progress.  In the end, this progress is toward better living standards for all and newer, better products at cheaper prices for us– the average Americans.

In the meantime, some other companies didn’t have crystal balls either, but managed to create new and economically operable products…

Unfortunately, these cars won’t have a free market chance any time soon.  If they are bad products, they will certainly fail as companies.  Yet their failing competitors are being propped up for a few more months…. with money taken from you and I.  Two of the above companies are United States based companies too!   These people have dedicated their lives and careers to these products and they may even be good products but they are overpriced, poorly distributed, and under-marketed…   If they had a fair chance to compete, maybe things would be different?  Maybe?
