Cars dominate the American landscape for a variety of reasons: the way our communities are constructed, the various subsidies in place, politics, and, of course, the money that car and oil companies can make by pushing their wares.

Maybe commuters would come to believe that riding the train had just as much sex appeal as sitting in traffic in a Lexus SUV.
