Six Cars That Represent the Future of Driving

I don't understand why everyone thinks the future of driving in America involves small cars. America wants SUVs and pickup trucks! It is only gas prices and environmental concerns that make us consider anything smaller.

A large vehicle would have a lot more room under the hold to store those huge lithium batteries. And once we're all "fueling up" from the electrical grid, the added weight would not translate to much added cost. After spending so much time and money gearing its factories to produce and market big vehicles it astounds me that the big 3 (or the big 2 1/2 at this point) would be throwing that advantage away to copy Toyota and Honda's model.

With a little vision those SUVs, trucks and even Hummers could prove to be GM's greatest strength rather than its greatest liability.
