Cars Enter Their Second Century With Phil Patton, NY Times Columnist, and Michael McHale, Subaru

Market Wire, September, 2008

Henry Ford put the first affordable car on the market in September 1908. Fuel was cheap and nobody knew about the effect of all those carbon emissions.

Today, it's a different story. Soaring gas prices have put the brakes on sales of big cars and trucks. But, according to Phil Patton, NY Times car guru, Americans are unlikely to end their love affair with cars.

They'll just be smaller, more efficient cars. Michael McHale says efficiency is the main reason the new, 265 horsepower Impreza, which won the Rally Car Racing Super Special at the X Games, gets 24 or 25 miles to the gallon.
