the idiot Volt defenders should be showing up shortly, led by what’s his name-truthguy?
The concept is a joke.

I'm here and ready with the truth because so many of you posting simply do not know what you are talking about.

Foremost among those is Robert Bryce himself, a journalist with no scientific or technical training either formal or practical. Bryce simply has not done his homework on the Volt. From the beginning GM only planned to produce 10,000 Volts in 2011. They will increase production to over 50,000 for 2012. Bryce's problem is that he thinks in a linear fashion. GM is releasing the Volt slowly in just a few markets because it's such a new and radical design. New technicians need to be trained to work on this vehicle. The first 10,000 units are already sold with people putting down deposits. Also many Volts are being leased because there are many who are cautious about such a new concept. These lease deals are not counted as sales.

So the problem with low sales is really a production problem. There are NO Volts setting around Chevy Dealership lots waiting to be sold. If you do not believe this, then go over to your local Chevy Dealership and see if you see any on the lot. Go ahead bfree. I'm calling you out right here and now. Take the challenge!

No the Chevy Volt owners are absolutely trilled with their cars. The car is fun to drive and very economical in the long run. Yes the first few years, this new technology will be expensive, but the price will come down just as it has with Wall TV's, Computers, and Cell Phones. A few of you here just might understand this.

For the record, Bryce was trashing the Volt, even before it was introduced. Now that's pathetic journalism.

The Volt has received many awards and accolates from the Motoring Press. It was "Car of the Year". It has a 5-star safety rating. I've stopped counting the awards it as won>. But if you really want to know how the Volt is doing, just ask those who have one:

Ask Volt Owners

the Volt is the G.M. version of the Toyota Prius. It's a hybrid that doesn't plug in to anything. I don't know where you live, but I can see several Prius in the comp[any lot. They are all over the place in Calif.

Now, the car that makes no sense is the Nissan Leaf, unless you live in a city, have a short commute(< 20 miles R.T), and have over night to recharge. Not to mention it looks like the worst of French Car design.

I, OTOH, intend to get a version of the best selling car in Europe.

Yes, it's a FIAT. Fiat 500 Abarth. 42 M.P.G. with the 5 speed and a light foot.

You can get the 190 H.P. version if you don't mind a roll cage and other purpose built ergonomics. .

So much for Global Warming.
