What GM is talking about in my book are not hybrids. These are trucks with humongous starter motors.

I think GM's numbers will be close to 9.1 million to 9.2 million vehicles in 2006 thanks to its strength in the Asia-Pacific market. It's likely that Toyota will pass GM in volume worldwide, but I don't think it's going to happen in 2006.

GM has to solve its problems (in the United States) before it can be profitable again. China is not going to bail out the company.
