General Motors Co. will keep making big trucks and SUVs because U.S. buyers demand them, but a major portion of them will be gas-electric hybrids in the near future. That's one of the predictions of GM's retiring Vice Chairman Bob Lutz. (March 12)
@GeminiAzules "GM says there have been no reports of any fires or injuries." A similar thing used to happen on my VW Jetta - leaky valve cover gasket leads to smoke and flare-up. Big deal. This is not a problem which will lead you to crash at 100mph...
Just incase your too dense to realize this, I'm not actually comparing the 2 companies. I own a Honda ;) I am not agreeing with the Govt singling out Toyota using recalls as the reason when its obvious that they are getting much more attention than any other previous recalls from any company.

That's just 2 examples. Type Gm recall 2009 into Google & you will be surprised. Why wasn't GM being treated like Toyota?

I think he could donate some if his achievements to next generations, instead of keeping with this bubble of differences between the social classes.
NO credits for you Mr. Lutz

"I don't want one of those bs mission statements" I wish the rest of American business would figure that out.
