They *were* the strongest... until they bought into the EV crap. Hopefully 
they'll back out of that stupidity. How big is the "carbon footprint" that 
is required to provide the electricity that these "climate conscience" cars 
require? And what kid of "carbon footprint" cost is there in the batteries? 
— (and they wear out in a few years and are too expensive to replace so the 
car usually ends up in the junk yard). This "green products" push is just 
another scam. Not to mention that most of the EV vehicles are about 
worthless if you need to drive more than 120 miles.
