Is Honda crushing the competition in car technology?

Mitchy asked:

1) It seems like they have always been a leader in technology
2) Never compare their selves to the competition in commercials. Ho many times do you hear Accord/Civic brought up in competitor’s ads.
3) Made the first ever hybrid car – Insight (not popular though)
4) Are now making water vapor emission vehicles. (FCX)

I like Toyota’s also.

Why are american car companies focusing on Ethanol corn based fuel? Research shows that this will make little change and even create new problems from what I read.

Why have “American” car makers taken so long to come up with a hybrid that people want?

QuestionGeek asked:

I suppose the Ford Fusion hybrid is a good competitor to the Toyota Prius, but it’s years behind, and what hybrid does GM have available?
