In 2007 could you please tell me what percentage of GM's total yearly income was from the sale of parts and labor for their internal combustion cars? If that percentage is quite high it might reflect a hesitancy on the part of the current large automakers to consider research and development of total electric cars. This development is assertively being pursued right now in Israel with the help of Nissan. Thanks for your help in our understanding of this global hesitancy on the part of large automakers.
