Electric cars were a brief fad a few months ago. Right now I'm buying gas at $2.30 a gallon and nobody cares about fuel economy so much any more. Really, GM's US-based product lineup is pretty good at the moment (and don't forget, they still make the top-selling car in Europe). I'd be happy with an Astra, a Malibu, a Cadillac CTS, a Camaro, a G8 or a Corvette, and the cars I mentioned would be near the top of my list if I were actually car shopping in any of those market segments at the moment. How many other car companies have competitive entries in so many market segments? Even Toyota doesn't have a decent sports car any more. Product is no longer the problem (though it was ten or even five years ago). The problem is idiotic liabilities.
