I'm from Detroit. I have listened to the same BS out of the mouths of auto execs for decades.

Hey, its not like anyones actually going to buy those silly Japanese cars! Just because they are inexpensive and efficient to operate doesn't mean people will want them. People want big inefficient pieces of garbage because.....well....because thats what we are telling them to like.
