So something like this:

But a lot stems from the poor running of the day-to-day automotive business. Every time that gasoline prices have spiked, GM has gotten burned, and its Japanese competitors have out-maneuvered it at every turn: first into small cars, then to crossover vehicles, and now with hybrids and other fuel-saving technologies.
Has driven GM to the brink?

I don't see any other company with a sparkplugless engine. I don't see any other company with a system as complex as eFlex. I don't see any other company working on several different types of fueling methods for the future and allowing their cars to work on them. I also do not see how the Japanese have better cross-overs than the Lambdas or the Vue. Sure have a nick at GM for the bad stuff, but at least give them credit where they deserve it.
