The Union “workers” can live off their bonus checks, courtesy of the U.S. Taxpayer, and GM’s “announced” profits did not include a return of taxpayer money.

In terms of styling alone, the car is a dud. They should have had ItalDesign work on it.

Liberals hate your freedom...freedom of the marketplace, freedom of choice, freedom to inform them that their ideas are mostly insane.

Actually, this is the most environmentally friendly, and date I say, healthy car (and it's been available for thousands of years):

“Oh, and how are you supposed to resell your electric vehicle once youve driven it five years and the battery is depleted? “
This quote was put in the article almost as an after thought. This is one of the biggest reason why you shouldn't buy one. Forget 5 years, try 3 years. Just wait until you see how little your $39,500 trade in is worth. You will be STUCK with it. Who would buy a USED volt? Nobody is buying the new ones.

I think electric will catch on and become very cheap.
I say that in the vein of a guy in the mid 19th century who sees an oil well and says, “I think we can power carriages with that stuff instead of horses some day.”
As with that 19th century man, “some day” is a ways off though...

I believe the 2012 target for the Volt is 25,000 not 45,000. Also keep an eye on the Mitsubishi EV that will be out by this fall. It’s base sticker price is below $22,000 and it gets 112MGPe. It only goes 64 miles on a charge and looks like a child’s toy, but for some urban drivers it may fill a niche.

Well, it’s 2012 now. What’s the sticker price today?
To: SeekAndFind
Owning a the Volt is like owning a Edsel with chrome wheels.
