LIVE GREEN OR DIE was the headline splashed across a recent copy of Business Week magazine. The related article was all about General Motors recent attempt to come to grips with reality. While GM has spent the last few years churning out Hummers, other car companies like Toyota, Ford and Chrysler have been developing hybrids and electric cars. With Congress tightening fuel economy regulations and gas prices passing $4 per gallon, GM has seen the light and announced the release of their electric car, the Chevrolet Volt. The Volt has been scheduled for release by 2010.
Smaller, more fuel efficient cars are becoming the must have vehicles. Ford's F150 pickup was knocked off the top seller list this past month for the first time in 17 years! What took its place? Four smaller, fuel efficient cars had higher sales: Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Honda Civic and Honda Accord. It looks like prices, gas prices that is, are finally forcing consumers and manufacturers alike to realize that we must live greener.

It's a good thing to see the car companies finally coming around to consumer needs. Will be interesting to see what the future holds for the auto industry and who gets left behind.
