[quote]When my 2000 Pontiac Bonneville dies (162,000 and going strong) which I estimate to be 2009-2010, I will be purchasing an electric vehicle and none other. If the Volt is ready, I’m buying that as I prefer the Volt. But if it’s not, I’m going with whatever other company has one out at that time. [/quote]
Ditto.

::Where are all these electric cars that came out before the Volt today?

In Tokyo and London, mostly.

#52 Where are all these electric cars that came out before the Volt today? Maybe they are not shooting their mouth because they don’t have anything worthwhile to shoot their mouth about.

[clipped from LA times story]

“Asked what he would tell people unhappy that they can’t get their hands on a Volt, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said: “That’s too bad. They’ll have to visit a Chevy dealership and buy a Cobalt or a Malibu.”

There is no way I would turn to a traditional engine powered car again. I’ve said it several times and I’ll say it again.

When my 2000 Pontiac Bonneville dies (162,000 and going strong) which I estimate to be 2009-2010, I will be purchasing an electric vehicle and none other. If the Volt is ready, I’m buying that as I prefer the Volt. But if it’s not, I’m going with whatever other company has one out at that time. That would be too bad too, as I want to support GM but I’m not going to be a slave to the oil company’s, nor continue to support it’s infrastructure.

I’m finished after this car whether GM is ready or not. Enough said!!

>>Yea, there are others who are working on electrics. They are just trying to steal some of the thunder GM is getting.

In case you havent noticed, some “others” have had long running electrics research and prototype programs way before GM came up with Volt, or even when EV1 was hot.
The thing is, they dont go around shooting their mouths off about these, and deliver a product when they feel its ready. Which, by current estimates just happens to be two years before GM gets there.

#44 get your facts straight. Lutz never said a drivable Volt would be ready for Easter. He said a mule would be ready for Easter. So what if the battery pack has been delayed a couple of months. What’s the big deal about that. I guess you don’t understand how manufacturing works. A goal is set and sometime delays happens and sometime goals are reach early. The bottom line is, all and all, GM is on track.

Yea, there are others who are working on electrics. They are just trying to steal some of the thunder GM is getting. Will the media pick on them if they don’t produce? Of course not, GM is the bad bad company and for the others, it’s ok for them to lie. Wake up American and be a little patriotic!!!
