That Chevy Volt should be a good car, they are building it for free with taxes from all of us.....rush out and help America, they only cost $40,000

[Rumdog]

Sweet huh? If I could afford a $40,000 car, I could definately afford a car with crappy gas mileage! Pointless.....

[RCprince]

Seriously, they shouldn't get a %&*$#@! dime! GM had this car in the 80's, But at the behest of Big oil they(GM) along with Firestone killed it. Since the 70's oil embargo they diligently looked for an alternative to fossil fuel, then killed it, So the people who pillage the earth for fossil fuel can make a profit. Let Exxon-Mobile fund their Electric endeavors. Hot dammit! tired of rewarding bad behavior.

Remember the EV1?

There is some very good info on "who killed the electric car", do a google search.

DRILL, DRILL and DRILL more.

It was in today's paper ... GM will sell cars on Ebay.

[Flying Scotsman]

GM is toast. The other part of the equation that gets me upset is that Nascar sponsors and tv idiots state we have THE BEST DRIVERS IN THE WORLD with cars with a carburetor and other old technology.
