These things are cars we are talking about here , not computers.
If you think that the car company is going to bring out the car with a lower price , then you are living in la la land and not old enough to buy a car yet or incur the debt necessary to own one.
Take your silly senseless immature chatter someplace else . It is becoming an intellectual embarrassment to come here to read the posts of intelligent and mature knowledgeable people. Go play CS or something more your age and experience level. Sorry if I offended anybody , but there just are too many children posting here and you should be at least old enough to buy a car .

As far as producing componets for the Volt the engine and body will be from GM. The engine will be built at the new plant in Flint, engine, crank and head will be cast at a GM plant yet to be named. The body panels will be stamped at one of the many that are in MI, OH or IN. My guess would be in MI to keep it close but it would all depend on available press time at the stamping plants.

Pretty much everything else will come from outside suppliers, thats the way most cars are now adays. Seats will come from one place, door panels from another. Tail lights and head lights will come from another company.

I believe 60,000 Volts a year will be about right as long as there are 60,000 plug in Vue’s and 60,000 plug in Cadillacs and 60,000 plug in small pickups …..

“I think you’re wrong on this. Obama probably has the most comprehensive approach. His stated goal is to eliminate oil imports from the Middle East and Venezuela in 10 years.”

Simply not possible even if he understood the dynamics. This is exactly my point.
