They do- at least, Mr. Honda did. But they pursue maximum profit first and foremost. Since the Market decided that maximum profit for the mfgs would be found in the big rigs, that's what gets built, and that's why I place more of the blame on the consumer base than the mfgs.
That said, there are several areas I dearly wish the Mfgs- and the motoring press too- would be more proactive on. I'd think they are in a good position to educate motorists about the kinds of things we preach here, and they kinda-sorta weakly do, but I don't understand why they aren't more visible with their efforts.
