That’s one reason I’m reluctant to send technically astute folks to FR. There is SO much misinformation and it is rarely challenged.

I do have to admit the Volt does have cutting edge technology. I think the 3rd-4th generation of it will be more price competitive and have more features so it is more acceptable to the public.

I'm kinda torn about the gov't getting involved with rebates/bailouts etc. Not for it and hope it is not the norm but the comparable cars by Nissan and others are getting the same rebates and subsidized by their own gov't.s

We are damned no matter what we do in this particular case.I don't want to see US industry(even GM) get behind other countries and have to buy their technology. I want US companies having the lead with patents and R&D.

Volt kinda reminds me of the 69 Zl-1 Camaro where the dealers where charged the full manufacturing cost of the day. ZL-1's were something like $8000 back then which was just insane.
