Last week I saw a TV program...maybe on Natl.Geo? about
the GM hybrid, and how GM mandated that all be turned in for destruction. It seemed so unbelievable that they could, or would, do that.
I have not had or needed a car since I left the USA in 2004, but from what I could see, the hybrid looked like a pretty decent idea, unlike the totally electric car which seems like a joke.
My question...What is wrong with the hybrid, as long as you can switch to gas when out of juice?
The owners seemed to love the car.
What am I missing here?
The main problem with hybrids is that the cars could never survive long enough to save its owner enough gas to compensate for the exorbitant price. Bob

GM Hybrids were great, until they became self aware. Then they started sucking the souls out of unbaptized children.
GM’s PR department did an awesome job keeping it quiet.

I believe you are talking about the GM Impact from 1996 -

It was not a hybrid, it was an all-electric car.
