GM and Toyota partner for hybrids?
Multiple reports are coming out indicating a possible partnership between Toyota and GM for hybrid cars. According to Reuters "details of the discussions, which would enable the companies to offer a wider range of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles sooner than if they worked on their own, remained sketchy."
According to the AP, GM is denying the reports. "There is no truth to that whatsoever," Scott Fosgard, GM's spokesman for advanced technology, told The Associated Press on Sunday (AP).
Already the red hot technology behind the Toyota Prius is being utilized by the Ford Escape hybrid, and will also be utilized by the Nissan Altima hybrid.
GM has stated its interest in hybrid SUVs, so such a partnership might make sense. In addition to the Escape hybrid, Toyota recently launched the Lexus RX400h and the Toyota Highlander hybrid will be released next month.
How long can GM possibly afford to wait?
