Then a large portion of the market will have already bought new vehicle's...gas prices will be $2.00/litre or $7.58 for my american friends...we'll have all sucked the life out of any +room in our cash flow surplus we gained over the last decade and won't qualify for a loan to get the car. Who know's... maybe G.M. will fall in late 09 and someone else will launch the vehicle that will save many a family! GET THE CAR ON THE LOT NOW!!! YOUR WARRENTY WILL COVER ANY MISTAKES!

If only we could keep off the wall comments like this out of this site. Probably a Toyota worker who feels threaten by GM. To Bob LutzLier :@2: Why don't you get a life and stop ridiculing Bob Lutz's name by using the name Lutzler Lyle,can you do something about this? Thanks Bob LutzLier Says:@2

The I thought that if I agree with nasaman people might think I was one of the best and brightest minds from 25 countries. So I agree with nasaman, all post should be positive. To make it easy people should only pick one of the following templates to post: 1. Go GM Go! 2. The Volt is the best car ever! 3. Hey Tagamet, nice cat!

Better to bring out your best effort ASAP and stand on the shoulders of a great product and sell, sell, sell, than HOPE that you'll be saved by the Feds. I will buy 2 of the first plugins that comes on the market. No matter who makes it. No Plug, No Deal. Too bad GM is waiting to get the Government bailout.

Reality, what a concept.

No confidence.

Much more so than, say, self-actuating front grill slats. The question of whether or not GM can survive long enough to produce the Volt (or EREVs in general) is an urgently relevent one.
