Were did you ppl come up with that obsurd price. For GM's sake, I hope that Lut's ppl can come up with better pricing. Were do ya'll get off. Its that kind of thinking that is going put GM in a coma and dead soon there after. You have got to be kidding me ppl wake REALITY CHECK!!!! Here is a solution to GMs problems. Sell the Volt for under $25.000 and then almost every American family can own one. Your profit will be volume, And since there are millions of pple looking for a solution to high gas prices most everyone will buy. Then gradually raise prices on supply and demand principle. With the Feds backing GM you will have enough capital until you turn a healthy profit. And fire the execs that can't come up with this simple plan i just layed out. Peace out from Houston w/ Luv.

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 01:11:19 +0000 http://gm-volt.com/?p=1120#comment-67888 I have read over 100 comments regarding today's unrevealing of the Volt... A LOT of people will not buy the car because of: 40% of the 100+ comments I read mentioned $40k being too high, and they'd spend $20-30k for it. 25% said they can't believe how cool the concept was, and how LAME and copy-cattish of GM to use a lame techno car design. I don't really care either way, because I could never afford it anyways. I have read over 100 comments regarding today’s unrevealing of the Volt… A LOT of people will not buy the car because of:
