When stupidity and arrogance take over a man, this is what you get- no common sense. I am NOT buying a GM P.O.S., I am buying an electric car.

It has only been recently that I have got gone away from GM and that's mainly because they won't build me what I want. I have been driving diesels and in order to drive a car diesel I have turned to VW. The Volt looks to me to me a huge step in the right direction. Unfortunately money does mean something to me and if the Volt's much over $30,000 I won't be able to afford the Volt. I might wait for a couple reasons to buy the Volt. The first is that I need a battery only range of 60 miles. I know that would require a 22KW battery pack, but hopefully that might be an option in the future. The second is that hopefully someday GM would use a 1L diesel ICE to power their generator. The diesel would have more torque to handle the generator and the mileage increase would be very significant. I do hope for GM success. I would like to be back in a GM powered car someday. I sure wish someone would build a small (S10 sized) diesel powered truck too I have been a GM man all my life.
