  Indeed!  Anybody remember the mid 70's?  The claim's always been 
that it takes 5 or 6 years minimum to develop a car and bring it into 
production.  Yet when gas prices shot up, Detroit managed to get 
Pintos, Mustang IIs, Vegas, Monzas, Chevettes, etc on the market 
within about a year!  Gee, HOW is that possible?  Hmmm, I wonder...

  I've been saying it's going to happen again.  Just as most cars then 
were going big with mileage in the low to mid teens then (with no power) 
they've gone behemoth, prices have gone up.  Seems like it just may 
be getting ready to happen again.   And they said I was mad!  Part of 
the reason I have several VW/Audi diesels sitting around.
