mick - watch "who killed the electric car" and you will see that car companies such as GM don't give a damn about what customers want. What they want is to sell the cars with the highest margins, which are generally larger cars, and they will advertise and push customers in that direction. Just like the banks with their subprime problem - companies like GM made high risk decisions for short term gain in order to give executives fat bonus cheques in the order of millions of dollars.
GM killed the EV1 and decided to heavily promote the Hummer, and to be honest, I would love to see GM fall on it's own sword right now and go bankrupt.
BTW - companies like Toyota and Volkswagen certainly aren't struggling depite the competition.
