You are right about Atlanta traffic. I have a 20 mile commute and this morning it took just about an hour on I85 that is 6 lanes and then goes to 10 lanes when it turns in to 75/85 connector. There has always been a push in Atlanta, but right or wrong Atlanta is a large white collar city and the view is that mass transit is for blue collar. Now I come from NY where mass transit was common and most business people took the train.

As for US cars ... I tend to agree. I do not think it is so much that US is building to look like cars from Japan, but over time everyone copies what is working and you start to get a blending of styles and they all start looking the same.

While I don't agree with the bail out of US car makes without union concessions, I will say that GM's new electric vehicle looks great and everything I read the performance is fantastic. If the survive to have it hit the market, I do believe that will be a huge success.
