Reminds me of 30 or so years ago, when it finally dawned on them. But then,
what happened? The cars got bigger again, maxing out with SUVs! The
pendulum swings one way, smacks into the wall, swings the other way, smacks
into the other wall..

Then I clicked on the link for Which hybrids make financial sense? which
took me to a good summary of all the hybrids.

Guess what - They compare the Prius to the Matrix - the Corolla, not the
Camry. Maybe this settles that discussion...

A little slow on the uptake perhaps?

Obviously new vehicles will have to be designed and made by GM, FORD,
CHRYSLER but that in reality is not enough. They MUST lower their
current and future overhead to have any hope. Issues such as taxes,
retirement pay, healthcare, wages, bonuses, and everything else
required to run the business must be dealt with in a significant manner.

But can they get themselves down to the thriftiness of Toyota's production?
Minus the bloat, I mean.
