No more markups
A few weeks ago I posted as story about Toyota Prius discounts that I had noticed in the LATimes – one of the hottest markets for hybrid cars.
Considering the economy, such discounts shouldn’t be surprising, especially with gas prices declining on a daily basis. In fact, November Prius sales were almost half of [...] [...]

Although they’re a big part of the Congressional pitch to get some federal funds, green cars aren’t going to make the Detroit 3 profitable on their own any time soon. Take the Chevrolet Volt for example. When GM [...] [...]

The EV1 and the Chevy Volt
I’ve never thought much of GM killing the electric car. Besides, it was really just a delay. Large automakers survive on economies of scale, and with gas prices what they’ve been, except for the last couple of years, there was never an incentive for such vehicles, especially if GM had [...] [...]
