The Automobile Industry is going to be in the same position as the Airline Industry in the next few months. Unless we get away from gas combustion vehicles, including Hybrids, the automobile industry (as we know it) will die.We need to make drastic moves. America needs to move to ELECTRIC. The vehicles are not as fast, not always as fun to drive, but the move will save Americans money (Billions) and help bring change to our automotive companies. Let’s “Be Green”!!!!!!!!!!!! BG Automotive Group Ltd. has a car that will travel 80-100 miles per charge for $15,995. Finally a car that most Americans can afford. Did you know that 80% of all drivers, drive less than 50 miles per day? This new car will cost an equivalent of $0.20-0.25 cents/gallon (depending on electricity rates in your area). Why send $700 Billion per year to OPEC (now buying up U.S. companies) when we can use this money for our schools, health care, social security for all Americans, etc, etc, etc. We can make the difference if WE change.

Do not invest in this company’s product. Saturn Engineers and Technicians are out of touch with the American people and the customers they presumably design these cars for. There is a critical unexplained programing glitch in the software controling the many modules that communicate their information to the main computer control unit. When the modules don’t communicate to the main computer the system starts to disable certain functions including safety functions and sends error codes and lights flashing on the dashboard. Dealership mechanics go through their service tree and ruling out physical causes resolves the issue by reprogramming each module. Then they must reestablish the hand shake between the module and computer.

As a consumer my question is why is this happening and can it happen again? No one has called me to explain those things to me. A vehicle is a major investment and it behooves Saturn engineers to step up to the plate, come out of their ivory tower and explain to customers what is going on. It is no wonder American car manufacturers can’t compete. They want to make junk and expect Americans to buy it while they peddle other wares in countires like China. I don’t have sympathy when manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Hyundai beat the pants off of the Big Three.

If the economics don’t work, recycling efforts won’t either.
As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing, http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.
