Is GM's Green Tech Better Than Toyota's?
That's what Chrysler, Daimler, and BMW seem to think. They're all using GM's hybrid technology for their new trucks and SUVs

My understanding was the first Prius was introduced in Japan in 1997. That is what "
Wiki" and the Toyota announcements claim.
As for Ford having difficulty selling its Escape hybrid? My understanding is there have been waiting lists for the car. Perhaps some of our FEH owners might offer a clue? I know I test drove one in December 2005 and thought it was a fine hybrid but not the type of sedan my family prefers.
