Just an observation...

Toyota will lose money this year for the first time since 1941.

They claim they sell Hybrids at a loss to learn and improve the technology. Without the discounts none would sell. They are cancelling the construction of the new Prius plant in the U.S. Their revenues will drop from $170billion to $55 billion in 2009.

In lieu of these facts, there is no way GM/Ford will survive without bankruptcy.

The BMW Hybrids are a day late and a dollar short. I see the Hybrids gone as fast as they came and more focus on smaller diesel engines.
