AM General, the company that makes the Hummer H2 for GM, is hoping to make wheelchair-accessible vehicles by 2010.

Good for GM. It is high time we supported mobility scooter use. They are here to stay and allow a large segment of our community to remain active. Bravo GM. Hopefull the other car makers catch on start supporting mobility scooter use.
Best,
