Anyone in this group know the history of Ford's Edsel. The following is an excerpt from wikipedia regarding the Edsel's failure: "Perhaps the most important factor in the Edsel's failure, however, was that when the car was introduced, the U.S. was entering a period of _recession_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recession) . Sales for all car manufacturers, even those not introducing new models, were down; consumers entered a period of preferring less expensive, more _fuel-efficient_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_efficiency) automobiles." Perhaps GM is attempting to build a real lousy EVs and Hybrids so that they can go back to their old ways and say (to themselves and perhaps the public) "we tried again and failed again". Read all the following article and you will see how short Detroit's memory is. _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel)
