When gas was 4.25 per gallon last summer suv's was not their best business segment. Personally I'm all for GM going this hi-tech route. This will be the future and I would rather GM and the US obtain the patents and money from the sales versus China or Japan.
I believe that gas price last year was artificially jacked up, and not indicative of where the price would normally be. As I understand it, SUV sales have rebounded and are still an important part of GM’s business plan.
I’m all for R&D of new technologies. When those come online, I’m all for producing vehicles that incorporate it into their designs, and are desired by the public.
Until then, destroying a segment that helps keep your business afloat, is nothing more or less than corporate suicide.
