Idea rejection letters - Ford and GM

Lot times i wondered the idea submission to companies like Ford and GM ever get reviewed. For a change i submitted my previous post ( http://yankandpaste.blogspot.ca/2013/08/a-multimode-9-mode-hybrid-transmission.html )  for new idea submission on Ford and GM. Both rejected it, but i never have seen even a review letter from GM for the ideas i submitted before. So i thought its good to share those letters. Thanks to both companies for the review of the idea. Didn't get any feedback but still i assume its worth that they looked at it and evaluated.
