Does anyone have an idea about the headroom in the volt. I am on the list and would love to have one but I am not sure I can get in it comfortably. I am 6′5′ and 260 so I need some room to spread out. Any info will help. Stephen

if the Cruze is delayed so will be the Volt.. after all it is based on the Cruze platform and engine.

your exactly right. The Volt has the best chance for numbers so its a roll of the dice for GM. If people fall in love with phev then GM will be well positioned with the Volt. If not then Toyota will rule.

Any chance the cruze was delayed to SAVE THE VOLT? I know it’s a weird thought but hear me out. The cruze is touted to be an excellent mileage vehicle, and a cheap one at that. The volt will be the same basic size and shape, but cost (perhaps) 2x as much. With the gas prices getting lower and lower, the economics of the volt make less and less sense compared to the cruze. If the cruze wasn’t out, then the comparable options might favor the volt more…

Might not be the reason, but it’s a thought.

#126 Grizzly “..for a sizable captured or uncaptured test fleet.”
===========================================

Grizzly — I agree, and as much as I would like to see cars at dealers, the test fleet is a good plan.

“Please note the word “production”. The statement does not saying anything about dealers or sales in late 2010.”

*** *** ***

Yup, it’ll probably be for a sizable captured or uncaptured test fleet. Just my guess.

Dick Cheney has a subterranean strong hold right under his house. No joke. Number One Observatory Circle. Been there since 2001.

#120 RB says,
WSJ says today “GM has yet to schedule its release of third-quarter financial results, which will reveal whether the company’s $1 billion-a-month cash burn has accelerated, as several analysts anticipate.”

I thought statik said there was a schedule. Strange.
————————————————————

These things are like clockwork, I don’t even look for release dates anymore, nevertheless…it will be November 3rd.

/it is kind of my super-power, my ’spidey sense’ if you will. I also have the power to calm jittery squirrels…it’s pretty much awesome.
