I like your style Xouper - straight off with the gloves!
With my gloves still on, I would point out that various characters from history also believed that they had spotted the "fallacy" of capitalism. Those like Marx, Lenin and their followers - who murdered 100 million people since 1917, trying to prove their argument. Others, who argued less aggressively, just faded into history - their great plans just didn't quite catch on. Anyway, back to the main theme before we get moved off to the Politics or Random babble threads.
It is simply ridiculous to compare a Model T with a modern SUV - you are just not comparing like with like. Of course it works well as an advertising gimmick, and they can pull it off because we call both items "cars". The average rushed person sees the ad for 10 seconds and picks up the underlying message "Ford. Big company. Cars. All bad - somehow".
If it is valid to compare all things called "cars", surely it is valid to compare all things called "modes of transport". For instance, a model T Ford and a Boeing 747-400. I'm guessing the latter manages 6 or 7 mpg. Obviously a stupid comparison. They just don't do the same job.
As Fishbob pointed out, the closest thing Ford now make, that does the same job as the Model T, is a Festiva, which has doubled the MPG of the Model T, and is vastly superior in every other measurement. Not only that, but the catalytic converter ensures that the exhaust it does produce is far cleaner.
