So i was watching the news and they were talking about how GM is coming out with some amazing hybrid cars...the best one called the "Volt". It is going to be N. America's most fuel efficient car.
But then they shared a bit of the history of hybrid technology and how Japanese automakers have taken over the USA big 3, and a big part of that has to do with the hybrid technology they BOUGHT off GM.
Japanese cars have been selling hybrid cars for 10 years now and have gained the image of "innovators" and "leading-edge" but in fact it was GM automakers that invented the hybrid technology but sold it to Japanese automakers cuz they thought there was no future in it.
Well now GM is pumping out hybrid cars only 2-3 years....much later than the 10 years Japanese cars have been out.
It must suck having to fight against your opponents while they wield your own technology against you that you sold to them.
