Local Detroit journalist addresses common criticisms of the domestic auto industry and rebuts them with facts.

Eeee....Speaking of half-truths, they might want to do some checking on Myth 6. Yes, Ford makes some hybrids, but their hybrid technology is licensed from Toyota.

One thing I like about Toyota over say Ford is that ford makes like 3 cars that I would even consider buying. They don't make mini-vans anymore. And finally they seem to be concerned more with keeping the status quo as far as gas mileage goes. The new Taurus gets roughly the same gas mileage as my current Taurus but it's significantly bigger than my Taurus. I don't want a bigger car. So let's look at the other two. Oh the other two are significantly smaller than my Taurus. Grrr! I want my Taurus-sized car and I want it with better gas mileage.

The new Corollas are about the size of my Taurus, and they get in city mileage that my car sees on the highway. Hrm...What to get, what to get?
