He should have rented the Prius:
(Sept. 3) — When the Rev. Jesse Jackson led a rally for “green jobs” in Detroit, he arrived in the Motor City in a massive Cadillac SUV. But his exit from the Motor City was a lot more environmentally friendly — thanks to some car thieves.
The robbers stole the civil rights activist’s rented 2009 Escalade SUV on Monday. He was in Detroit for Saturday’s Jobs, Justice and Peace Rally in downtown Detroit.
“We were traveling for Jobs, Justice and Peace and we came [outside the hotel] next morning and it was gone,” Jackson told AOL News today in a phone interview. “It was obvious that it was stolen.”
Police found the car later that day, stripped of its wheels but otherwise intact, WXYZ reported.
Green cars for thee but not for me.
The auto makers profits are increasing only because of increasing sales of SUV's and full size pickups. These vehicles never really went out of style even with the cheer-leading of green cars by the lame-stream media and the "elite". Nobody really wants to gamble on a green car due to high cost, future reliability, the small size and sub-par performance with their own money.
Elites only drive them when people are watching. Otherwise they don't drive them either.
The car makers returning to profitability will be slowed by these green cars, none which make money.
