Two of Detroit's Big Three Sit Out the LA Auto Show

The LA Auto Show in November is a huge event in which the industry gets to unveil their new models, technologies, and exciting concept cars. But things are so bad for the American Auto industry right now that two of of Detroit's big three car companies are basically sitting out for this year's show, a previously unprecedented event. While foreign car manufactures Toyota and BMW are unveiling new, environmentally friendly vehicles, both GM and Chrysler decided to not send any executives or hold any press conferences during the industry showcase. Ford is the only US automaker with a major presence at the show, where they're rolling out the brand new, redesigned Mustang, which they're boasting has a “V-8 with even more horsepower and an even throatier Mustang exhaust sound.” While Japanese and German car companies are working hard to create more fuel efficient vehicles as concerns about gas prices and the environment continue to plague consumers, Ford is boasting about a faster and louder Mustang, while GM and Chrysler have so little to offer in terms of innovation they didn't bother to show up at the LA Autoshow... no wonder the executives from Detroit's Big 3 are in Washington begging for a 25 billion dollar government bailout loan.

great report Catherine. You failed to report that Honda, Hondai and even Toyota are backing out of other Auto shows.

Good Statement! But DOES Nisson now have a Fuel-Less Transport in the works, being implemented for production? If not, it SHOULD! The Pivo2 is only two steps away: 1) Cut Li-poly stack & put in set of ELECTRIC DC GENERATORS. 2)Charge generators by roof Solar Panels (now nano). I leave out minor items like photo-eye to regulate gens., and Caps. (including Ultras) to store energy for dark times. DO IT! About time the people could PRODUCE ENERGY, instead of CONSUMING it, as they head down road!
