The look of the Cadillac Volt is very appealing. I am not a cadillac buyer (poor product, horrible repair and maintenance costs). Market the design of the original volt as a sedan, and not a sportscar. The target market for these vehicles do not want to be seen in a sports car. Get away from the sports car design. Thank You, Future electric buyer! GM is definately catching the attention of individuals like myself that have driven Honda and Toyota for last 20 years.

Why not unveil the Volt at the CES? Does’nt matter whether its battery electric or fool cell; its still only a concept.

GM must show something came from that project and with the money spent. Never mind that nothing has been done about Hydrogen Economy Infrastructure. Just another example of how our government wastes money by the billions. If the $1.2B had been spent on battery technology where would we be now. I am sorry for being so cynical. I am with you #1 Noel Park, “As so many have pointed out here, enough with the fuel cells too.”

I guess in their minds it's to look more "cool" or "hip" to use a phonetic spelling than a correct one. Really silly, if you ask me. And another thing, about the intentional misspelling.

If hydrogen ever does come around one day, it's a by-product of oil refining. They can't lose. Whether it fails or flourishes, they can't lose. Yup, yup.

your tax dollars at work.

Yes, I agree.

Correct spelling is “Fool Sells”. In other words, they are trying to Sell us on a concept that’s a dead end, in order to Fool us from getting interested in technologies that will really work. This is why all the big oil companies pushing hydrogen. Classic red herring.
