True. However light duty trucks fit my personal preferences better then a full-sized truck. The only reason that a small or Mid size SUV such as the Saturn Vue, or Ford Escape are not appealing to me is the lack of an open cargo bed. Again this is a preference on my part.
TO be honest at this point, almost any newer Vehicle gets better gas milage, than the 2001 Firebird i have, or the 1997 ford ranger my girlfriend drives.
Hell i'm still paying on the Firebird, and don't drive it any more. (I car pool to work)
A good number of the extremely large front end loaders, and other heavy-load construction and mining equipment are Diesel(gas) -Electric, and their wheels are driven buy motors, either directly or through a transmission. Scaling this down with todays tech should be done easily enough. Torque is NOT the issues.
I think it's purely the Auto makers don't Want to manufacture Hybrid cars, or they want to charge a premium. Look at the bottom line... Most "Big Oil" are major stock holders in the "Big" Automakers.
Think about it.
I think allot of "mainstream" news sites with go subscription only. On Local Paper site may go to a password protection schema, buy the daily paper the password goon fro 24 Hours, buy a yearly subscription get a 12 month password, or something like that. Who knows. I just think its puts a hamper on the freedom of information. I for one Like using Fark and Google News. I think sites like Fox News and CNN will still be free.
HO lord, the narrator needs to go back and re-do it in the proper foreboding tone. I have to say the visuals are Promising, but you got to get rid of the happy go lucky, excitement it the tone! This is suppose to be a dark bleak time, a war it going on, the Jedi are being summarily wiped out from with in. What were they thinking?!
I hope they movie can redeem its self.
Am I the only one to notice that they are using Mac OS X? I if look in the picture, the window containing the satellite photo, is defiantly from Mac OS X.

Those are Full sized trucks. I would Like a Mid-sized or "Light duty" truck such ate the Tacoma, Colorado/Canyon or Frontier, or Ford Ranger.
