Also remember GM and Ford build very good compact and sub compact cars in Europe where they sell. GM and Ford outsell Honda and Toyota by at least 2 fold in an unsubsidised market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-24847864300124327982009-05-06T12:31:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:31:00.000-04:00I have problem with this.

The US and California governments rushed to Toyota's aid thru the hybrid tax credit and Cali's opening of HOV lanes to hybrids. Still, Prius did not sell well for years, until they became chic. From an economic perspective hybrids still don't make much sense for the majority of people. Back i the '90's GM was certainly correct that they didn't make sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-85745698012418571292009-05-05T23:05:00.000-04:002009-05-05T23:05:00.000-04:00we're still not banana independent. for shame.we're still not banana independent. for shame.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093170309806260127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-90677529973276738532009-05-05T19:41:00.000-04:002009-05-05T19:41:00.000-04:00Treasonous Anon,
