I think GM knows that the Volt is probably their ace in the hole for revitalization. If they cut that, it'd just delay a slow death a bit. Innovate or Die!

Says: Why isn’t GM taking deposits now? Seems like the obvious way to stay in production. ------------------------------------------------------ Excellent idea, Dave! I would put my deposit down now. #75 dan Says: This car is a compete joke! Why does GM make a car in 2008 that gets a 40 mile range on electric when it made one in 1998 that got 150 miles on pure electric? ------------------------------------------------------ Dan, you misunderstand something perhaps. After 150 miles you pulled over to the side of the road. With a Volt, after 40 miles, the internal combustion engine kicks in and you get home. Also the EV1 was a huge money loser. This topic has been debated and is considered closed, IMHO. SO happy that GM denied this rumor - I agree with the previous sentiment: this is the car the world needs, and many more like it. #74 Dave K. Says:

It's GM's only hope...really..I can't imagine buying anything but a hybrid from here on out. And i REALLY want to buy american for a change. If GM doesn't step up, might as well close shop today and make sure everyone gets decent severance.... Wow, please don’t put this project on hold.

Personally, I think the 2010 planned release date of the Volt is a bit ridiculous. GM could just go ahead......put it in production in a few months. They proved some 60 years ago during WWII they CAN DO IT IF THEY WANT TO. GM KEEPS TELLING US......ALL THESE DELAYS. AND ALL THE TIME........ THEY COULD HAVE THESE VOLTS SITTING ON LOTS FOR SALE IN A VERY SHORT TIME..........IF THEY WANTED TO DO SO. MY OPINION IS THEY ARE NOT PUSHING THE VOLT OUT TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE OF THE SAME OLD REASONS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE ALL THE TIME. THEY ARE MIRED DOWN IN STRUGGLING AGAINST CHANGE. GM BETTER HOPE AND PRAY SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT BEAT THEM TO THE MARKET WITH A PHEV............ I GOT MONEY SET ASIDE TO BUY ONE. AND FIRSTEST WITH MOSTEST GETS MY NEW CAR DOLLAR.........NO MORE GAS HOGS FOR ME.

Why does GM make a car in 2008 that gets a 40 mile range on electric when it made one in 1998 that got 150 miles on pure electric? Seems to me they want to drive the company and the countries economy into the trash! Watch Who killed the electric car and you will wonder what kind of nonsense they are giving consumers on their ability to create a viable alternative to the status quo Detroit and Bob Lutz propaganda of not having the ability to make something better. What a crock of shite This car is a compete joke!
