You have to add the Repug administration for legislating loopholes for SUV fuel economy and pollution. And you have to add the idiotic American public for buying these vehicles.
GM sells moderately OK vehicles that are not as good as Honda or Toyota, but are orders of magnitude better than the GM vehicles of 20 years ago.
You can buy a Chevy Cavalier and 30+ mpg on the highway. or a Saturn something or another or an Aveo. But precious few McMansion dwelling Diet Coke swilling cell phone-while-driving exurbanite shitheads have any interest.
There's plenty of blame to go around.
