Quote:That's the whole point of this thread. Mandating fuel mileage standards isn't "universal", especially when the reason for the mandate is to be "green". Instead, let manufacturers decide what they want to build based on what consumers decide they want to buy.


You decided for whatever reasons to buy your vehicle based on your preferences. For someone like me, yes fuel economy is a factor, but I also want comfort and performance. My truck has all of the features that you listed, along with heated/cooled leather seats. That's what I wanted and paid for.
