Auto Industry Business Model Needs a Major Overhaul

It's simple. Develop a car that is fuel-efficient and focus on quality to every minute detail. Most people want transportation that gets them from point A to point B and back to point A. What's so difficult about this concept? Focus on a few models, turboboost quality, keep the same design for three to five years and you'll make money. If one or all of the big three would have developed a fuel-efficient car after the 1974 oil embargo, they wouldn't be in this mess. Plan long-range, not short-range. There is a large market of car buyers right now---looking for reliable transportation that won't bankrupt them at the gas pump. Give the market what it wants!
