    not a truer statement in this entire thread. look at beta!! smaller packaging, better quality... but failed due to piss poor marketing.

    we were led by corporate bigwigs to something less desirable, but we simply did not know it which is the entire point here.

    a major auto manufacturer comes out with this article and BOOM now millions of the uninformed have this little teeny weeny seed planted in the back of their mind: EV's=bad...

    what we truly have here is corporate irresponsibility. we dont need more info how not to do something we arent doing in the first place!!

    if they cant figure out how to do it, dont be gm and write it off as a bad idea. gm attempted to do that with hybrids and failed.

    EV's can be a pretty major player for the future and like any other technology, the more it's done, the more people will want it to be better and the faster the advances come. but nothing happens if it never gets started

    i can say one thing, up until now, i had great respect for Honda. most of it is now gone
