    Flies in the face of their cross ownership doesn't it? However gas guzzlers will continue to be promoted by the same GM.

    Propaganda is the only thing GM does well.

    It's a wonderful idea. Too bad they don't actually sell a vehicle that could help cool off the relationship.

    GM will stay in bed with the oil companies, who are translating their enormous oil profits into batteries and other energy sources. They are well-managed, and will do what is necessary to be competitive.
