2012: The Fordaizening of hybrid cars

Is it real this time?

Several years ago I had such hopes for Ford, particularly its couple hundred thousand hybrid cars per year by 2010 plans, including unique and new vehicles, such as the Reflex hybrid pictured here.

Instead, Ford sold 30,000 hybrids last year. Toyota sold 500,000.

Fortunately, that Ford is gone. Yesterday’s Ford died when it went into bankruptcy, along with the rest of the Big 3.
