And if they wanted to they could...

By that same logic your point about the Saturn electic car being pulled for lack of parts and service needs is now out dated since GM sells the volt that doesn't have the same service and parts needs as gas cars.

They tried to kill the electric car but after a few years gave in and relished they were losing and had better get on the band wagon, watch "The Revenge of the Electric Car"


I would say there's a very good chance that the only reason that Chev is putting out a diesel car in the US is because they have to make an engine that satisfies the up coming EU standard. So you can thank the EU governments and the EU citizens putting their dollars behind diesel for that.

And it gets fair MPG as well.
