I am a second generation homebuilder. My brother and I have seen worse downturns than this (1986-1990), and we are actually in the process of doing what you are recommending. You are pretty savvy about my industry. #148 Statik

I dont think they realize but electric is they way of the future.We wont need gasoline to run our cars , they can keep their high priced oil and you know what they can do with it.Opec put a rope around their neck and now they are starting to pull on it until they choke and dye.They need to start looking into producing Batteries to stay in bussiness.LOL..... By they way we do have and unlimited supply of oil still untapped.They just dont want to tell us so they can drive the price up , but its going to backfire on them.

So whats the deal? The only thing i can possibly think off is that they raise the bar for a car such as the volt because if its classification . But even in that case i would give them a break of 5 years or so , so that everything can get worked out . then we will truly see it take off and much like the secound generation iphone they will sell so fast that nobody will be able to keep up . I also would give them the break simply because they are a domestic automaker and almost all the proceeds would circulate in the us economy . Unlike the pruis ( which is still a good car ) , foreign auto makers honda and toyota who make money, is really getting invested in our domestic market nor are jobs are being given to our workers either. Its really nice to see an ALLL american auto maker taking a risk and when in doubht will come and rise to the top. By the way im buying gm stocks now while there cheap ! I think that in the coming 10 years or so gms stock will more than double Personally i am in favor of giving gm a break considering that yes this technology is a break through , But might i add that the volt will exceed the mandatory fuel requirement anyway .
