ParticipantGM came out with the hummer the same day they killed their electric car. Oh, the irony, being that they did this as we were running into the world production peak of oil. We actually don’t need more cars especially internal combustion engines. To put another way, if demand somehow persisted with the types of cars we were buying oil would get to an unmanageable and default mania would have hit us without this “crisis”.
Toyota is actually “peak” aware., whereas GM at least pretended like it did not exist.
Irv Miller, vice president of Toyota Motor Sales USA. “It was a brief glimpse of our future. We must address the inevitability of peak oil by developing vehicles powered by alternatives to liquid-oil fuel.”
They’re just keeping those people employed so we don’t have guerilla warfare in Detroit.

ParticipantSOCRATT, Thanks for jumping into the kiddie pool.
Toyota and Honda are really hurting right now, or haven’t you heard? You might want to take your ear off the corporate lemming phone. Did toyota, honda , nissan and mazda fail to understand the market?
Guess what? That Aztek is an absolutely awesome vehicle. Now I know in third grade something that is funny looking is to be ridiculed but you know not of what you speak concerning that vehicle. How do i know? The Aztek is the sister SUV to my Buick. Crawl around and under one next time you see one. Beauty is skin deep and I think even the most Japanese of Japan fans will appreciate the mechanicle wonder of the vehicle.
The pinto was and easy target, I’ll give you that one.
Old Raleighs are better than old Peugots and newer versions of both makes suck.

ParticipantMaybe the $47B is to cover the pensions for those 47,000 layoffs.
That and the wonderful UAW.
And Scarlet, most people who come here and start insulting the intelligence of a group that is actually quite educated and insightful only end up looking like the bigger fool in the end.
That or they get banned from the sight. Might want to tone it down a bit.
