Isn't it odd that even today, with all the hand-wringing in the media about how everyone is looking for more fuel-efficient alternatives, Canada (and the U.S.) still feels the need to entice people to buy these cars with tax breaks?

Instead of the government handing out money to people simply for the kind of car they buy, maybe the manufacturers should make these cars appealing for reasons other than their fuel mileage. It would seem the promise of $3/gallon for gas in the summer isn't enough to get people to change what they drive.
