Guy Incognito Says: October 8th, 2009 at 3:59 pm Why does it have to be different with the Volt? You go to a dealership to buy it, as you would any other car. This is the way its always been done. Once again, why should it be any different with the Volt? 20.

Have you ever wanted to end something that made you money? I did not think so. I read the ebay feedback comments, and the GM dealers are still pulling the same crap today, as they did 20 years ago. Their ebay rating was 73%. That's horrid by ebay standards. Bye bye GM. If the Chevy Ebay thing was sucsessful it would not have ended.

Ashton Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:47:44 +0000 http://gm-volt.com/?p=1861#comment-151028 Right now someone just posted an ignorant piece on the Huffington POst about how supposedly something called "The Leaf" is superior to the Volt. I think they said Toyota makes the Leaf, its a prototype. The writer claimed it goes 90 or 100 miles on a charge, and has no gas engine, therefore it is better than the Volt. He also says the Volt gets only 40 miles per charge, as a pure electric. This guy is full of it. For one thing, no one wants a car that only goes 90 or 100 miles. I do not recall the exact numbers, but I know the Volt gets a lot more than he says as an electric, and the tiny superefficient gasoline engine emits very little carbon yet boosts the range of the Volt to I think over 300 miles. His anti-GM and anti-American car bias is evident. He does not realize that every electric car indirectly emits some carbon anyway, a lot of it, in fact, if the owner lives near coal fired power plants. A car, like the Volt, that is practical enough to be driven hundreds of miles in a day WILL BE USED MORE THAN AN IMPRACTICAL SHORT RANGE CAR. Therefore it will prevent more carbon from going out, since the weekend trip will not be taken in the 2nd vehicle. Anyone owning the Japanese "Leaf" will just park it and drive their Lexus most of the time, accomplishing almost nothing for the environment. Wake up, American car haters. Admit you're wrong.
