Hi, You make a good point about three season cars. Nothing wrong in that. we do it today. The sportscar goes up on blocks for the winter, and we take out the ol' 4x4 for the salt weather.
Although I am a fan of light weight vehicles, I don't see myself driving a
super light weight in snow and ice.
But too many people want to throw the baby out with the bath water.......
....." yeah, but what about the winter??? " .
We need to think outside the box, and do what we can....when we can .
75 miles per gallon sounds fine to me.

Best regards, Dan
