Toyota's Bill Reinert Spits at 50 MPG Goal, We Take Quote Out of Context [News]

Translate Into:

Newsweek just published an interesting, though recycled article about the state of fuel mileage. We've all heard it before right — automakers could give you 50 MPG cars, but then there would be sacrifices in safety, performance, and passenger space. Well according the article and a variety of sources, competition for the half century mark is about to heat up with the 2010 Chevy Volt, a line of Prius branded models, and a new hybrid competitor from Honda. Considering the price of dino-squeezins is probably going nowhere but up this summer, we sense a media frenzy on these types of stories. [Newsweek]
