Don't be ridiculous Bret. They will end up being shipped to China and
India and Russia and so on. And perhaps the price will get low enough
that someone will develop a conversion kit to hybridize the
---at
least to have them run on four cylinders part of the time.

Excellent idea. The mid-sized SUV's would still be serviceable with 1/2 the
horsepower. My 50 mpg Honda Civic has a little VTEC 4cyl gas engine that
produces ~90hp (stock) with plenty of torque. It would definitely pull a
3,500lb SUV, no problem. But it wouldn't accelerate to 60 in 7 seconds.

The bigger SUV's should be scrapped and recycled, IMO.

An example of markets responding to change. GM and auto unions might
demand government subsidy of SUVs. The waste will be even bigger
then.

To be recycled of course.

You can't for one second imagine that the Indians and Chinese can afford
to run them ? Some Russian Oligarchs could afford it of course.

cars ?

What a truly STUPID comment.

GM looks to be the current world leader in new practical PHEV designs
that will be on the market in around 2 years. You think they learnt
NOTHING from the EV-1 ? Hahahahahhaha ! The last laugh is on YOU.

USA - Chevy Volt.
Europe - Opel Flextreme.

Ford and Chrysler have no future. Chrysler especially after Daimler Benz
dumped them.
