God forbid a right-leaning gun owner cares about the environment. I do suspect that if that qualification was not made, your post would have been followed by numerous irrational flames. I guess that answers my question. Drastically reducing our dependence on oil is in this countries best interest and that opinion should be universal regardless of left/right leanings. :-) Matt986,

The article I linked on AR15.com was one Michelle Krebs wrote. She also wrote the one Lyle linked in this article. I went ahead and shot her an email, just to say that I'll be keeping up with the Volt, and will spread the word! Several guys over there mentioned how they had never heard of it. Hopefully I spread the Volt a little bit more! I had found the post on Autoblog, but didn’t notice the link that Lyle posted to Autoobserver.

You do know that GM is a Union company; I hope. Honda is much more Right-Wing and Libertarian, though their trucks and minni muscle cars are kinda wimmpy. annyhwo: Keep you powder dry, bro Jason Dear Lyle

You would need a helluva big battery pack to get any kind of range, as well as a much bigger motor to satisfy the average truck buyer. As far as technology goes, I'd say biodiesel is the better way to go when you are talking about trucks, maybe in conjunction with a mild hybrid system. Steven B

I also wonder how much of the performance car market it'll eat up too when the Volt is introduced. I really like the Camaro that GM's going to put out in '09 (I think that's right). I've heard of the Volt being described as looking like a Camaro, but shorter and with a completely different powertrain. I think that's true, and it seems like that it could affect the GM-oriented performance market like that. Thoughts? I wonder how long it’ll take for E-flex to make its way into trucks?
