"Taken For A Ride" documentary

Executives of GM blatantly admit to the intentional destruction of trollys, trains and buses. Proven in court.

America better start waking up. Also, this paper often censors valuable information.

it will appear that the big burocrasies of the US auto companies is the main problem. GM as well as Ford have two solutions:
1- Convert models to Hybrid technology and almost doble the milage of the veicles (will buy time).
2- Buy the Tesla Motors Company and start making electric cars with their new batery technology (250 miles range per overnight charge).
Mercedes Bens is looking in to buying) Tesla, like allways GM and Ford burocracies will mised the opportunity.

Until Mr. Clarke understands this basic fact, GM will continue to go down the tubes.
