Yeah you can still get 40mpg cars HeavyJim. But they are subcompact cars like the Rabbit and the Geo. They were tiny, and very lightweight. That's not practical for every driver, who may be too tall for the car to be comfortable day in and day out. I'm sure if I went to a dealers lot and got in I could make myself fit, but at 6'3" tall I prefer/need a bigger car. I loved my truck, but mid-sized sedan suits me well. I too am upset that the car makers have waited so long to make improvements, but at this point, all I can do is hope that any money they take from consumers goes towards improvements. And Ford really is trying right now, and doing pretty well. I am looking forward to seeing the whole car design; and also looking forward to the new Taurus.
