I thought this blog post was interesting - makes the case that walmart is working with chinese car manufacturers to bring an electric car to market. I have no idea whether or not it's true, but it piqued my interest..

That's a very interesting question. After I read your question, I'm sad to say I put some real serious thought into it. I still haven't formulated a definite answer. I love the question and the idea, though. You have to figure that we all go to Wal-mart for great deals. I think I would have to do more research on their hybrid. I know I wouldn't be one of the firsts to buy it. I would have to see how i others say ir performed. I'm not so sure it would be a hit. However, I may be under estimating the power of Wal-mart.
Great question, btw.
