    The only thing weirder, is the fact that GM now says they're on the "GREEN" band wagon and the whole Prius thing? ... they now "get it" (though they never publicly / facially admitted that they were wrong when GM said the Prius was a money looser) ... and yet, they're still fighting tooth and nail, the new epa / proposed standards (shaking head).

    It's history repeating itself again when put into perspective of the EV1. I'm not master of EV History like some, but I'm pretty sure it went like this:
    - create an EV to satisfy the California ZEV requirements.
    - fight the ZEV laws with tooth and nail.
    - lease the cars - don't sell them - to ensure that you always own every one.
    - when you win the fight and have the law repealed recall every EV on the road.

    So you say it's weird that GM promotes themselves as "green" even though they are fighting the regulations; those around here who used to drive an EV1 just shake their heads.
