From the Daimler Chrysler press blog:
Communications VP Jason Vines exposes an attempt by a member of a California environmental group to pose as a reporter during a news conference following meetings today between the CEOs of Detroit's automakers and Congressional leaders on energy issues.
Busted! Bogus "Reporter" Crashes Congressional Visit
A funny thing happened at our press conference in Washington today between Bill Ford, Rick Wagoner and Tom LaSorda. A person posing as a reporter posed a question why the three companies weren’t building plug-in hybrids like the Toyota Priuses on the road.
Unfortunately Tom LaSorda didn’t get to answer the question. We then found out the quote- reporter, worked for CalCars and that they had actually converted the Priuses to plug-ins. Toyota, meanwhile, voids the warranty of these vehicles. The only manufacturer with factory-built plug-ins is DaimlerChrysler with 30 Dodge Sprinter plug-in hybrids currently in test fleets.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
