GM v Honda
Yesterday, or a few days ago I saw a GM commercial that touted GM's decision to move toward earth friendlier cars. When I saw the commercial I thought yeah, but how long will it take GM to get these new cars to production.

Today I went to the website of the National Journal because I was trying to find out what the cover of the magazine looked like. While at the website I saw Honda advertising their fleet of earth friendly cars. Honda was touting all the environment friendly technology they had introduced to their car line. I was just a little surprising to realize how far GM is behind Honda. GM is talking about building environmentally friendly vehicles and will have a hybrid version of the Tahoe out either this year or next year while Honda has three hybrids and tons of environmentally friendly components on their cars. I knew GM was behind, but I did not really realize they were this far behind.

1. GM isn't even an American car company any more.

2. One Question
I am just wondering why you say GM is not an American company anymore? Are you talking about car parts or just the way the company have been acting lately?

3. Sad but true
I always loved it in the late 80's/early 90's this was a hot button issue, people would get all sorts of pissy if you have a "Jap car rice burner" and I'm like, WTF? Your VRC, TV, radio, and approx. a dozen other household appliances, were are THEY made?! "Japan". Uh huh, so SHUT UP!
