Political will is also a renewable resource in Germany

I do not want such a leader for my country: Merkel Opposed to EU Plans for Car Emissions Scheme!

Dear German car industry,

Where is the car

…that has no power windows [weight-saving]
…that has no centralized door locking [weight-saving]
…that has no always-on air condition [fuel-saving]
…that is hybrid-powered [fuel-efficient]
…that comes with no useless electronic gadgets [on-board engery-efficient]
…that is available in a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 person edition [reduce to the max]

Probably one day, once you have implemented at least some of these suggestions, you will see that this also creates jobs. Because people will no longer have to buy Hondas and Toyotas in order to get at least environmental-positive cars.
However, as long as you act like that, and as long as our government supports this backwards politics, be sure that I will not buy one of your cars.

"Best" regards,
Thomas Steiner
