The technology does not exist says GM ? Come on. Buy a Toyota
Prius and tear it apart and see how it works Mr. Lutz.

I refuse to believe you give a shit. The greatest (now 2nd greatest) car company on earth, as FDR said "the arsenal of democracy can't fiqure this thing out. Unbelievable !!!!!

Maybe you should look at the plans for the EV-1 that you CRUSHED
That might help you. Oh and by the way they have Lithium Batteries now going into retroing the Prius, Da.... maybe one
of those would work in an EV-2, if you could get your head out of
the place it is at and build what the AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT!!!!

petrol and diesel engine will be history in 15 years.
future cars will be produsing fuels than drinking fuels . with the help of fuel cells transformer and generators
this can be done .kinetic energy produaed by cars in motion is wasted now energy during breaking & kinectic energy can be absorbed to fuel cells to make future automobiles scientista in the world will do it

Of course GM and Ford build smaller, more fuel-efficient cars in Europe. Those cars sell (profitably) there! With $6 or $7/gallon fuel, consumers DEMAND high fuel efficiency and will pay for it. Everybody wants them. They will pay extra for a diesel engine because they know it pays off in the long run. In the US it's iffy at best. Fuel might drop in price again. You still make more money, in general, on larger cars in the US.

The average US consumer won't care as much about fuel conservation as readers of this website until they pay more dearly for fuel. Sad but true.

In Europe GM builds fuel efficient cars under the brands of Opel and Vauxhall. So GM, you have the technology. And Ford does too!

Why does GM keep claiming that the tech does not exist? All they have to do is visit a Toyota or Honda show room. They have the resources and have had them for sometime, to bring to market what they now clame cant be done. Same old Same old BS … again. To many old people in positions of power and to set in their ways, to think. much less think out of the box. I’m not one but perhaps the stock holders should take a stand! otherwise they may see GM in bankruptcy court. Meanwhile Japan laughs all the way to the bank….Okay I’ll stop now.
