Regarding your reply #98 – I’m glad I didn’t miss something in the video. I really am trying to learn. If, as you believe you’ve read elsewhere, the 2-mode Plug-in Vue can attain an overall average ~56MPG … It certainly sounds like this may well be a viable option for me if the Volt is too expensive or delayed or something. Thank you. I’ll have to keep a closer eye on this option.

That does sound much more impressive than what I understood the plug-in Vue to be. It might be a good interim for a would-be EREV truck owner. At the moment, that does not include me; but it’s certainly more worthy of my attention as the whole electrification thing proceeds. I am already attentive to any move by Saturn to adopt Volt technology.

I agree that “Tacuma” is a terrible name.

Poor CT! My adopted state does have a a lot going for it:

Days I used AC: 2
Days I evacuated: 0
Days my house was damaged by natural disasters: 0
Hours I sat in traffic of no sane origin: 0
Days I was told there was a water shortage: 0
Days that I ate REAL apizza, not that crud the rest of you think is a pie: 365

The worst part about CT is not ENOUGH snow to teach people how to drive it propperly.

Oh, and a mini mini-van is a perfect match for e-rev, even a 20-30 mi e-rev. Most mini-van rides are less than 7 miles round trip, I’d guess from our experience. The plug-in vue would be perfect.
