Tech: And You Think Q4's Going to Be Bad? - Barron's

I will gladly give up airbags to save 2,000 dollars on a car , and i would love to have a cell phone bigger than a matchbox , with good sound quality , and a display screen i can actually see without a magnifying glass .......... I think there is a big market for basics ............ as for fuel efficient cars ??? We are so hung up on hybrids and electric cars that cost way too much , and not to mention the expense / disposal of the batteries .......... when just a good quality 30 - 40 mpg vehicle is all we need ........... There's a huge market for basic fuel efficient reasonably priced cars ......... but GM would rather build a hybrid escalade for 75,000 dollars ............ natural gas cars would even be a much better idea right now ............ People are going to crap when they have to pay 5,000 dollars for new batteries every 5 years in these hybrids and electric cars ....... not to mention battery disposal problems ......... Have you ever noticed the disposal warning on your cell phone battery ????? Multiply that by a thousand ......... A Lithium battery for my cordless drill costs 100 dollars ......... can you imagine car batteries ?????
