When I first saw the Volt it looked like a car that I could be proud to drive as a straight male. Now it just looks like something that a Californian liberal would drive. Same ol run of the mill car that the Japanese have been putting out. Really sad. I want to save gas without giving up style. I do NOT like.

The good ole' bait and switch is alive and well. Bait'em with a really cool looking stylish and sporty looking car, then use the stuff that's already out there and rebadge it under the Chevy Bowtie those suckers will buy it. Hmmmm for the money should I buy one first generation Volt thing with new unproven technology or two 5th generation(by 2011) Toyota Priuses?????? It is no wonder GM is in the shape they are in, you had the chance to be #1 but because of your lack of vision (and profit margin) when you had EV1 and could have easily made it into an AWESOME hybrid far better than anything at the time.........nope sorry just couldn't see anything better than all those Hummers and SUV's.

This rebake of a Chevy Malibu is a second start for them, but the economics are not going to help GM short term. I wounder what price the Volt will be sold in Europe as an Opel ?

The Volt will run on electricity, gas, or E85. Future E-Flex vehicles may have different options. 2) Hydrogen is the biggest scam going. It's the big oil companies that are pushing hydrogen. They know it will never work out. That's why they call them Fool Sells. They are meant to deceive us. http://www.physorg.com/news85074285.html 3) Bio-diesel and a regular diesel are interchangeable. The engine is the same. You can mix bio-diesel and regular diesel. The actual fuel is no different. Only the source of the fuel is different. 4) Passenger vehicle diesel engines in the U.S. require lots of emission control hardware, which makes them more expensive and less fuel efficient. Europe also has new emission standards that are having a similar effect. So diesel engines in passenger vehicles don't seem to have a great future. 5) Cellulosic ethanol is getting real. In particular, GM has started investing in a company call Coskata. They make ethanol from energy crops, corn stalks, wood chips, garbage, or even used tires, all for less than $1 / gallon. #168 Dave Says: “The fact of the matter is, the gas power generating engine in the volt is easily swappable (from an engineering perspective, and possibly in the future ‘hot swappable’) with a hydrogen fuel cell, bio-diesel generator, and pretty much any other alternative energy fuel source one could imagine.”
