Chevrolet

To whom it may concern:

I am a 19 year old college student currently attending Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. I am writing to you concerning the fuel efficiencies of your vehicles.
I admire the fact that you, as a company, are chasing the status as the most fuel efficient automobile manufacturer in the world. I think that it is quite a challenge to compete against foreign automakers such as Honda and Toyota, whose vehicle lineup are mostly four-cylinders.
What you have done so far is very impressive. So far three hybrids (assuming the Silverado hybrid makes it to production), vehicles equipped with E85 fuel capabilities, and the creation of Active Fuel Management. I believe that the steps you have taken and the direction you are going is showing much of America, and even the entire world, that American automobiles are not just gas guzzling tanks, but are actually being refined to environmentally friendly vehicles.
My only concern with Chevrolet’s new image is the loss of its performance vehicles. I am personally a Ford enthusiast, but I was recently fortunate enough to have the opportunity to drive a 2008 Z06 and I was awe-struck. I had shivers up my spine after driving the car. That is an excellent automobile, and I hope that Chevrolet does not lose sight of the performance it has built over the past 50 years; and is still able to build cars such as this in the future. I am looking forward to the new Camaro. Keep up the good work in both the fields of fuel efficiencies and performance.
