This is why we should be doing business with American companies. They are respectable because Americans have a high standard of ethics in business. We punish those who conduction violations, and this time we might be banning some of their products from our respectable market.

They'll still have hybrids.. they'll just jack GM's or Ford's systems.

Pray they're that stupid. GM and Ford will sue them for all they have.

Sales won't be halted or banned, I guarantee that. More likely the plaintiff will get royalty payments out the ass.
