With Chrysler' recent EV announcement, the Volt's development, and Toyota's EV plans it will be very interesting to see who will be the first to get their EV marketing right. Or at least who will survive long enough to see that happen. Nobody is immune from quality recalls anymore and everybody has the engineering talent to create excellent and reliable products.

For decades, while foreign car manufacturers have been steadily gaining market share by launching superior products, the Big Three have been launching uncompetitive products while simultaneously blaming everyone but themselves for their woes. Recently, the Big Three have finally launched some truly world-class cars, but the public’s perception of these companies and their vehicles has been so decimated over time that now it may not matter. This is why GM launched GMfactsandfiction.com, but Neal is right that consumers are probably savvy enough to ignore the hype. The ONLY way to convince consumers to buy the Big Three’s cars is to do what the leaders do: keep turning out better and better cars.
