Thomas Friedman on the attack

Apparently after Thomas Friedman's last article about how GM was hurting America, GM responded on the GM corporate blog defending their marketing gimick of capping gas at $1.99. Thomas Friedman skewers them, I gotta say. If you have a NYT subscription, you can get his article here. Here's he final paragraph:

I'm not a car expert, so let me leave the last word to Automotive News, the industry's top trade magazine. Its June 5 editorial said: "General Motors' promotion that reimburses some buyers for gasoline purchases is ill-advised for an automaker that is trying to burnish its green image. The program should be dropped, not expanded. ... It's simply a subsidy for vehicles that burn a lot of gasoline. And it's one more example of G.M.'s tone deafness on environmental issues. ... Yes, G.M. can make vehicles that are as fuel efficient as anybody else's. But it acts as though its future depends on gas guzzlers."
