Gm Sucks!

GM Rocks!

I agree (as often happens) with Rob on this.
They killed the EV-1 which was the right thing to do. It was NOT a success and would never have been marketable. The Volt is actually the first truly usable electric car to come to market (next year).

Also, GM did not have the government subsidizing the development of hybrids like the Japanese government did for Toyota.

If there is one thing the Japanese understand well is that you HAVE to support your domestic industry. This is both the people and the government. The Japanese would never allow foreigners to infiltrate and take over their domestic markets as has happened here.
