NO GREEN CARS NO BAILOUTMalcolm Bricklin On Hybrid Cars, Auto Bailout and The Car Cz
If you’ve ever sen the car in the video it’s called the Bricklin SV-1 and was made between 1974 and 1976. It’s maker is Malcolm Bricklin, an American Entrepreneur. Bricklin brought Suburu to America from Japan, as well as Fiat X1-9, and the Yugo.
In the 90s he turned his attention to making environmentally friendly vehicles, making an electric bike called The EV Warrior.
Today, Bricklin is combining his experience with fuel cell technology and his knoweldge of manufacturing techniques and economics to create a line of plug - in hybrid vehicles or PHEVs, which he says can be installed in your car right now, making it more gas efficient.

This video is one of General Motor’s Saturn division’s most recent television advertisements. Titled ‘Rethink’ it tells you to rethink, and focus on the more important things. Towards the end of the ad, it showcases Saturn’s current new-car lineup; 2007 Saturn Aura Green Line Hybrid Sedan, 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster and 2007 Saturn Outlook (our next car). The ‘rethink American’ theme is supposed to tell imported car buyers and criticizers of American domestic cars to reconsider their opinions by trying out one of Saturn’s may new cars (Sky, VUE, Outlook, Aura and (soon) Astra. Saturn’s commitment to quality products is very impressive, and their style is not only unique but very attractive. Their cars offer options that no one else delivers. Saturn’s 2007 model line-up far surpasses their previous models in quality, and is a true threat to Toyota, Honda and Ford.
