...want the Nano to succeed. I hope they read my book, because I see so many things happening already that look like it's going to be a disaster. It's going to pass its safety and emissions tests, but it's still going to be dangerous if an SUV hits it. It's going to get walloped in a crash test.

But then U.S. automakers, essentially, got lazy. Their war with the auto unions didn't help. Nor did the rise of the likes of Toyota.
