I caught the World-Series from the 7th inning on last night.
The Italians ran an add for their new JEEP Grand Cherokee.The SUV has active-suspension which lowers the vehicle for better mpg on the highway.
With the latest CAFE standards for 44-mpg trucks( 61 mpg for cars) by 2025,this is probably something we'll see more and more of as time unfolds.
Also,they ran an add for their Dodge 300 with 8-speed trans ( for 31-mpg ).
Finally,they had Jennifer Lopez cruising New York City in their Fiat 500.No word of lowering,8-speeds,or mpg.
