OK. GM has crushed the idea of using Toyota's hybrid
technology numerous times. Nonetheless, there is another
rumor out today that Toyota and GM are discussing
the possibility of re-utilizing their joint NUMMI
venture to rebadge Toyota
Prius hybrids for GM.
Regardless of the fact that I'm 99.9 percent certain
such a partnership would never happen, what would GM
have to gain by such a venture?
Almost certainly, GM wouldn't make any money off these
hybrid
vehicles, and I don't think they would provide any
more green PR than the Chevy
Volt is already providing. Even worse, these cars
would cast much doubt on GM's upcoming lithium-powered
BAS hybrid powertrain.
Am I missing something? Why won't this rumor just go
away?
