[quote=PadreBrian] ZERO hybrid power plants for normal family cars…they squandered their engineers on hybrids for their HEAVIEST SUVs.

Actually, from a fuel saving point of view, this is the best thing they could have done. The imporvenment from 10-15 MPG is so much better for us in terms of total oil demand than the increase from 30-35 MPG.
You are right though, in a company survival sense they do need a good car that gets very good MPG. They actually would be better off with 3 good milage cars. Hopefully they will accept the new fuel milage standards and move into the new reality where it doesnt cost $20 to fill your tank.
