"A Northwest Ohio start-up company is nearly ready to create 2,000 green auto industry jobs!" [1]
They've received 312,000 orders ... right. For comparison the tesla model S has received over 1,000 orders [2]. An order of magnitude difference. Why haven't we already heard of these guys?
For perspective, the new Prius model has a sales target of 100,000 cars in 2009.
Somehow I doubt that some small company with a new engine technology has outsold threefold Toyota's massively efficient and effective sales, marketing, and dealership network across the US, and gone completely unnoticed by mainstream media.
The car business involves a lot more than just the design of the engine or the car.
