I drive 25 miles to work. if I can plug in at work, I would be able to drive 20 miles/day on electric and cut my consumption of oil by almost 50%.... 10 miles would be disappointing, but I could live with it… I drive 25 miles to work. if I can plug in at work, I would be able to drive 20 miles/day on electric and cut my consumption of oil by almost 50%….

Get back to the drawing boards GM!!! Why is it that LionEV can make a better plug-in hybrid with superior range??? http://www.lionev.com/LionEV_PHEV.html Somebody at GM needs to get REALLY SERIOUS about advanced battery technology (e.g. lithium ion, sugar batteries, etc.). We're tired of the same old combustion engine crap. Ditch the combustion engines or I'll design my own PHEV from scratch. I agree, a 10 mile range JUST DOES NOT CUT IT.

From regenerative breaking… to 10 miles electric… to 40 miles electric. Remember the volt isn’t even close to coming out yet. The good news is once Li batteries become more and more widespread incorporation into more and more cars will occur at a much faster pace. Before long we wont be telling our kids about the days before microwave ovens an such but instead will be talking about the time when all cars weren’t electric and ran instead on gasoline. Wise says: Agreed, totally. In fact, I would go as far as saying that any car that got even 2 miles on electrical charge would be a most significant advance in automotive technology. If the average car got 20 miles to the gallon, and recieved the benefit of two electric miles and was driven 10 miles each day, then it could be said that that car's milage improved by 20%. If the person driving that car 10 miles had the ability to recharge at work after having driven 5 miles, then that person would recieve a benefit of about 40%. Under many conditions, driving 1 mile to the store and back home, that driver would move without using gasoline. It's all good and GM deserves credit. Folks this is a step in the right direction.

Cadillac liked it enough to use it for the identically-sized (180.3″L x 67″H x 72.8″W) Cadillac Provoq they exhibited on stage at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The VUE is also a really handsome design... http://www.motortrend.com/auto_shows/coverage/detroit/112_2008_detroit_auto_show_p1/photo_150.html PS: I also like the VUE’s overall size & styling!
