I just cannot believe what I have read here ! Thanking Mr. Lutz for GM spending the last 30 years avoiding/subverting attempts to improve CAFE standards as "too difficult". Now you all thank GM for another future "wait until we get there" product. Why do you believe that GM will bring this car to market? Advertising does not a product make. A cynic might ask if there really is a Volt program? GM could have a "wag the dog" scheme, spend millions, get Congress to back off on the CAFE/emissions, save billions. I do have to say though that if GM does produce this car, the full time electric drive could simplify the drive train. Will the simplicity translate to any better reliability than GM currently sells? How come you all did not thank the competition when they brought out a really useful vehicle? That we can buy today. Still way too expensive for most of us. Oh that I had money.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I appreciate the straight approach you and your team have taken in providing timely details of successes and setbacks in this process. I also appreciate the effort introduced into this undertaking, and the desire you (and your staff) have injected into this project to make this a reality. I feel confident that this can and will be a success... and we look forward to reaping the rewards of a job well done.

Why position you as the savior of 'so-called global warming'? Oh, wait...perhaps because you've staked you're reputation on it and already buried countless dollars into R&D while sticking your neck on the line to the board of directors (who truly make the decisions within any major company)? Maybe it was by being willing to front the idea of this project at major shows, and you totally had us fooled by being willing to take time out of your hectic schedule to talk with everyday fans willing to travel across the U.S. to speak with you and your design team about a project that they are excited about? Who knows, perhaps you feel a desire to push GM to meet the upcoming fuel-economy requirements while still providing purpose-built vehicles for those Americans who aren't pansy @$$ liberals who worship Al Gore's nail clippings? Maybe you have taken into account that many on here desire this car for financial freedom from gas prices while we all travel to and from our 'Kill the Loggers' rallies? I mean, that's crazy talk....what were we thinking??? Oh, and I totally agree with your views on the Hybrid Tahoe! Who's idea was that...really? I mean, nothing screams 'Hey, I'm comfortable with purchasing two Prius Hybrids because I have more than 4 people in my family' quite like the excitement of taking my current Tahoe and hitting the gas station every couple of days to indulge myself. Heck, I bet those Tahoe owners even bathe in it 91 octane when they feel the urge! I also feel it's completely impractical to designe a Hybrid that might actually meet the needs of a family with 4 people over 6'3" tall, right? I mean, anyone stupid enough to allow themselves (or their kids) to grow that tall don't deserve a hybrid vehicle anyway! Sincerely, T. Hugger P.S. Thanks sooooo much for your autographed photo! I'll put it on the dashboard of my classic Chevy, right between my photo of Zora Duntov and my mural to the spotted owl! Dear Mr. Think-you’re-intelligent-Bob-Lutz-wannabe-poser,

Hurry up before more of Antarctica falls into the sea!" Dear LB, Stop trying to position me as a savior of the world from the ravages of [quote] Global Warming [unquote]. Didn't you hear me the first time? Global warming is a crock! And like I said memorably in a prior video segment, "I don't owe you anything!!" We've got plenty of reasons to make the Volt, but it's not for the environment. If that were the case, why would be wasting our time hybridizing Tahoes? I realize a lot of people looking forward to the Chevy Volt are pansy ass librulz who worship Al Gore's nail clippings, but just do us all a favor, shut your granola-holes and meditate patiently until you can save the world with your Volt purchase, that is, whenver we get around to selling them in your state. Sincerely, Bob Lutz P.S. I realize some of you people are masochistic fanoys so I've included an autographed press photo of myself in case you still want to worship me. Maybe keep it under your pillow at night and dream that I actually give a crap about the environment. Meanwhile, I've got to visit my accountant to go over how to spend my raise. In Detroit, political incorrectness still pays. “Mr Lutz,
