I think you'll find the NYT oddly silent regarding this.

Naturally I'm sure they would after how much hate mail Friedman has probably received from his last idiotic rant.

I just wish GM could step up the pace of the hydrogen vehicle. Seems they've been talking about this thing for years, yet we're still in the early development stages.

Just because they'll probably ignore it, doesn't mean that everyone in this forum shouldn't forward the link to the NYT.

I really don't find it odd that NYT WILL ignore this. Besides, this is a European event, right?

It's still GM. Even if it's in Europe.

Great to see GM do so well in this, now some of the production models that scored well should be sold in the States. I'm sure there is enough interest.

It often takes significant time for a paradigm shift of this magnitude to take place. At least GM is showing (or about to) some real prowess in the hybrid area. That will help in short term success in these areas.

If you substitute Toyota for GM in the article, do think the NYT would cover it?

Very good point....which makes the email flood sound like a good idea after all

Yeah! Friedman I don't see any of this crack you are talking about.
