Dear General Motors,

I'm sorry to hear about your financial troubles. It seems hard times have hit us all. Seeing as how the government turned you down for that loan, I'd like to offer a suggestion as to how to turn your profits around.

Stop wasting money on cars like the $60,000, 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. Yes people want better fuel economy, and yes people want cleaner air, but a 20/21 mileage rating is pathetic, and the "hybrid" tag is clearly a token gesture to increase sales amongst those without a clue. We all know it is really just a gas-guzzling death-tank in hippie clothing.

You can do better.

Better yet, and I know this is going to sound crazy... you can make smaller, AND more fuel efficient vehicles. A 6,000 lb car is NEVER going to get good fuel economy. It just doesn't make sense. The foreign auto makers aren't wiping the floor with you because they make BIGGER cars, they're winning because they make practical, reliable driving machines.

We want to buy American, we just want a little of the masculinity taken out of the process.

Oh, and more hot women in advertisements.

That is all,

Brad
