  Ms. Rita Pappas,

  Please go to the EPA web site and check your facts. The Toyota Sequoia, Tundra, Nissan Titan, Land Rover SUV and others get similar or worse fuel economy than comparable GM or Ford models. Toyota, Honda and several German manufacturers also were involved in dialogue about emissions, fuel economy standards, timing and individual states ability to make 50 separate sets of standards. Do you really mean to tell me that you want to abolish open dialogue about the impact of 50 states making up their own standards? What a nightmare for any manufacturer. GM tested their hybrid system out on busses and has over a 1000 on the road, saving millions of gallons of fuel. I believe they are in the process of scaling that down to fit into a Saturn Vibe as we speak. To announce the car today they had to have been working in it for over 3 years (normal development cycle), long before the fuel prices shot up. I agree with Bob Wallace. Lets judge them by what they are doing today and the strides they are making, not take the low road and grind a very old ax. They do employee your friends and neighbors you know....On How my intern stood up to Big Auto posted 1 year ago 13 Responses

  GM

  Dear Mr. Glenn Hurowitz and Meg Imholt,

  I found your post here to be way off the mark and felt compelled to answer you directly. Your unabashed vile aimed at General Motors is not only incorrect, venomous and completely off the mark.  How about updating your facts before you rant. GM CURRENTLY makes some of the highest fuel efficient vehicles. They have more models that get over 30 mpg than any other manufacturer. They have 7 segment leading fuel economy models (most are vehicles introduced in the last 3 years). GM also has the ONLY LEED certified auto manufacturing plant in the US and has more plants that contribute zero landfill refuse than any other manufacturer. To be clear GM has spent a billion dollars to get the fuel cell technology ready for production asap. Also take a look at the October issue of Consumer Reports where they rank return on investment for hybrids. GM has 3 of the top 6. GM is a very green company and truly cares about the environment and its employees. Stop bashing the home team!!!On How my intern stood up to Big Auto posted 1 year ago 13 Responses
