No, a small car is not a real American car. US will never stop producing big cars, cause peoples like them. But Hummer company is sold to a single person (I don't know who). So we can't buy Hummer anymore.

Yes, but in 2011. In 2010/2011 you will start seeing electric car, like Chevroltet Volt, Chrysler Town & Country EV (I love this on), Jeep Patriot EV, Jeep Wrangler EV... Ford also, but I forget the model name. All these cars have also a small gas engine to recharge the battery. But they can be charged at home with 120V/240V. Under 40miles, they don't use gas.


Check the Town & Country EV: http://www.automobilemag.com/green/news/0901_2010_chrysler_town_and_country_ev/index.html
