It is so interesting to watch the dynamics and the struggles. I wish I had some popcorn.

On day one, individuals hopefully will pretty used to seeing or hearing of cars being plugged in that it is not such of a “burden” in their minds. In that GM is helping all the automakers in their own bids in electric vehicles.http://www.cellphone-china.com Early movers have the advantage early large amounts of market share and a step ahead on tech, but the followers can learn from the mistakes of the early movers and easily adapt, and sometimes supersede technology developed by the early movers. This market, I have seen, is terribly entertaining to watch and I am looking forward to the not too far off day of

Their new lineup of hybrid cars will surely be exciting.

The Ford Escape is a perfect example of a good hybrid system that allows the choice of a SUV w/ good gas mileage. As for small diesel trucks I say thats great, hopefully hybrid technology will
prevail in most trucks that haul equipment in the next few years. People forget that contractors, landscapers, farmers, and others are hurting as much or more when gas prices are high.

As for Bryce’s comment, you made me wonder about the hybrid market in the next few years. Not sure if Toyota one of those ‘early movers’ got the next generation Prius right. Little too conservative on the engineering aspects if you ask me. But we will see if Toyota can hold on as #1. Not sure that they can, if the others are offering different styles, cheaper prices and matching or exceed MPGs. Also how will the Volt change this market? Should be fun to see how all this plays out.

Sorry to say, I don’t know what Chrysler’s status will be in the auto world next few years, maybe Bryce is right shake it up and stir some new excitement into their products. Maybe they will come out with this Volt like car that runs longer on a battery or is offered at a lower price, probably not but we will see.

It already exists, it’s cheap, it does not need a huge drivetrain. If there is no all electric Smart for sale in the US within one year, I will hold a life-long grudge and I will never buy a Chrysler car again.

Enough with SUVs and pickup trucks. I don’t want to drive around town and have the capacity to haul my entire fridge and living room. Give me something fun again, smaller, handles great and makes me feel I am driving a car. I miss those days.

The photo of the ecoVoyager makes me want one right now. But I am sure that when/if it every goes to production it will look like a POS US car.

However, I heard Minivan. I have had to abandon my beloved Dodge mini’s due to an upscale in engine size. (What a loser at this point). We bought a Prius this year. I want my smaller mini back, but want it to be a hybrid, or better yet, electric.

We will see if they follow through.
