GM needs to have 2 mode hybrids for both mid size and compact A.S.A.P. If I read this
correctly, they won't be ready soon. Does anyone else here have any insight on this?
Toyota and Honda are unfortunately way ahead of the curve as usual. GM is behind
in bringing 2 mode hybrids to passenger cars. This is inexcusable. This is where the
focus needs to be. Not on 2 mode hybrid pickups and SUV's. They will have a limited
market going forward. Another case of GM not understanding the market conditions.
