Articles of the auto industry troubles cannot help but condemn our addiction to gas guzzling.
Its not clear to me that this condemnation is all that sensible or innocent. Buying a large "gas guzzling" car is a rational, even environmentally friendly, descision for for families with more then two children. The Prius is not a family car.
The demand, then, that American automakers make fewer Caravans and more Priuses is, simply, a demand that they cater less to a certain sort of Americans (families with more then two children) and more to the sort now in power.
