    For BYD the important numbers are the “new energy” car numbers. But those numbers of the F3DM and all, seem so muted……

    Yes I agree dragin, the electric car is the future. Warren Buffet, the richest man in the world knows this and has invested in BYD. If China wants to be free of dependence on foreign oil like the United States is they must develope the electric car, battery technology and solar energy to power these things.

    BYD will outsell Hyundai in China, but not this year. It sure helps when the Beijing gov’t backs Hyundai as a joint partner.
