They decided to build Hummers instead, bad management. Why should GM get help when they had the future of the US auto industry in its hands with the EV-1?

Ford asked for this specific grant, nobody else did. Nobodies really got a "fresh view" on the business. At least, not in a more mainstream sense.

We would be better off giving it to an upstart without all the overhead. I am seriously wondering whether Ford will be around in the near future.
