Toxic ten: Ford slammed for breaking hybrid promise

So what if you had the world's first hybrid SUV?

For failing to live up to its hybrid promise, in addition to having the second-worst fleetwide gas-mileage rating in both 2006 and 2007, massive Superfund waste, and for mass production of the Ford F-150, Portfolio.com named Ford to its 2008 Toxic Ten list.

Congratulations!

This will be the future of American car companies. They are cut from the same cloth that the scumbags in office and the bastards in oil industries.

What do you expect when you have idiots like Bob Lutz making public comments such as global warming being a crock of shit? (his words...not mine...).

As I have always and will always maintain...the sooner Ford, GM, and Chrysler completely disappear, the better it will be for everyone. At this point, it honestly is BETTER to start out with a fresh slate than allow these charlatans to continue.

Well, Noz, I still maintain hope that at least one automaker will see the light and help the world become more efficient, but at this point in time, it's very hard to defend almost any automaker, let alone US automakers.

We need a revolution in the auto industry, and you might be right that automakers just don't have the vision to make that happen.
