GM, Ford, Chrysler Sales Collapse

You omitted some brands from your headline GM, Ford, Chrysler, TOYOTA, HONDA, HUNDAI, MITSUBISHI, SUZUKI, ISUZU sales collapse (all the added names sales were off at least 7% from August 2007 with some brands off more than GM, Ford or Chrysler!)

Will GM's Volt Change History?

#169775-
Where are your facts to back up your claim the public can buy a 2010 Prius that can go 40 miles on electic only? Everything I have seen is that Toyota (who was late to the Li-Ion revolution) will maybe have a few produced for fleet sales only, Not for sale to the general public! and no where have I seen that this future Prius will even approach 40 miles electric only.

Liveoilfree- I glad you are an expert regarding your claim of how simple it is to add a genset to supplement a battery in a car. It's so simple that every auto manufacturer must have been producing them for years (yeah right!) Where are all the 40 mile EVs you claim? Who is currently producing a 40 mile EV that can travel at highway speeds of 60+ mph and carry four people?

The Li-Ion automotive battery will continue to evolve like any new technology, and it will soon have even better range and lower price!
