My problem with GXT's post from teh Volkt thread stem from this post:
I don't want to be critical of GM on this because I think it is a great idea. But let's not overstate what this is.
And, like I replied, how can you bash them for "missing the boat" when they've been the leader in Fuel Cell development, they have more vehicles that run on E85 Ethanol than anyone else (which seems to the latest crazy among the fuel conscious), they produced the EV1, and in the hybrid department, have teh Vue, Aura, and upcoming Malibu hybrids, as well as the first application of a hybrid powertrain in a large SUV (the Tahoe).

But back to the subject at hand. I know email itself is real, although it's content may not true to actual circumstances. The poster is not a liar here, and that is the main issue we seem to have. At any rate, I can see Honda being troubled by the Lambadas, but I would think it's Toyota who would have the most to worry about and the most to loose. As far as I know, Honda doesn't have a desire to be #1, Toyota on the other hand, does. If the new Highlander isn't as good as the Lambadas they stand to loose sales to them, and hinder their plans for "world domination". I would think, if anything, this comment would have come from a Toyota exec, not a Honda one. Just a thought.
