The American auto industry may be in the throes of its reinvention, over the next painful transition years. But here's my bit to help us all through it.
Look on the bright side--there's an entrepreneurial, start-up car company that makes today what Detroit may not manage ever to do.
Build the 100 mpg car! It is the Aptera and is priced in the mid-$20,000 range; it's a winner.
One of Detroit's Big three could buy this company and make the car for the national market.
On second thought, Aptera would be better to stay away from the old mindset of Detroit. This is a complete reinvention of the automobile, from top to bottom, complete with a new company culture.
The inventors are headquartered in Vista, California and produce the composite body parts in Carlsbad, California. What fun and only from the west coast!
(I don't drive one of these yet, but would not turn down the opportunity to represent the manufacturer if asked.)
