Maybe selling more hybrids will save the world. When do they have to replace all those highly toxic batteries anyway?

I just think all sales suck look at the big three, toyota and honda also released that their sales the last quarter where down 34% and they have the gas sippers.

My friends have a used car lot and service center they said sales suck but people are really fixing some junk. everyone is waiting for Obama to save the world economy, and until people start spending $'s again model changes will be minimal I believe, with the exception of increased hybrid production.
