The amazing plague of intransigent ludditism that infects their corporate boardrooms. They seem to pride themselves on being obstructionist and then they invariably have to play frantic catch-up. Had Henry Ford had the same intransigence towards new technology the horse and buggy industry would still be thriving.

It is disapppointing. I had hoped to get one of Saturn's all electric vehicles but of course they previously pulled those from distribution as well.

No matter Honda or Toyota it will be. Sad. All of the engineering and technological capacity we have in this country to free ourselves from our dependence on foreign oil, it is invariably stifled by rabid corporate obsession with preserving the dyng paradigm of the fossil fuel based internal combustion engine.
