A car we cant have, but should.


As the U.S. auto industry hangs pathetically on by their nails, I can't help but to wonder why foreign auto makers are not allowed into our capitalist country. Citroen, a french based car company has a variety of cars that would sell vary well in the states. The C4 is a sedan platform with several engine options and is also the car they successfully race in the WRC. One particularly interesting version of the C4, is the 1.6 HDI 110 VTR+. Its well crafted diesel engine enables it to get an average mpg of 60.1. that means on the freeway it gets above 70 mpg. Ford UK also makes a variety of high quality hyper milers but for some reason we are not offered these cars.
