Quote:
"The Japanese are selling hybrids in America. But we are quite sure they don't earn money with them. The price for those cars is too cheap to make a profit.
Some people in America have made hybrids into a cause; from what I hear it is a lot of artists and actors. But hybrids make up just one percent of the market. And that isn't going to change in the near future. . . ."

I would have expected this from an American Auto manufacturer, not from a German auto engineer (
Henning Wallentowitz has chaired the Institute for Automotive Engineering (IKA) at Germany's elite RWTH university in Aachen).
Apparently, we won't be seeing any competitive hybrids from Germany!
