Even though I signed up for this list like 2 years ago, I will never have a chance to get one of these vehicles...and none of you will either, unless your a celebrity or ready to fork out 10 grand above the going price, along with some rediculous interest rate. GM isn't even planning on mass production for years from now. So...just forget about the Volt...Prius will have plugins soon along with other companies. My next car will be electric...but probably foreign. It doesnt matter when this car is released.

I tried to remove my second entry when I realized I had already added myself some months earlier, but it didn't work. i don't really remember because both additions were a couple years ago.

To me, at least, it looks like they have a genuine shot at it. And Mulally's doing an amazing job. And that billion dollar profit is impressive. And so is the margin increase. But I don't know that much about the industry, and I'm sure I'm missing things. I know it's not directly related to the Volt. But it's a competitor. And it's a relevant comparison to GM, IMHO.

It didn't seem right that I was writing pieces, and not commenting at all. I really left the commentary community because I felt I was being a distraction to what Lyle was trying to do/get people to talk about, I always seemed to end up just hijacking threads...especially under the 'older' threaded comments setup, and that was the last thing I wanted to do. So I figure I would touch in now whenever I might have some information that could be helpful in some way (like the Camaro ditty today...or other bits of obscure information about the industry, or info from Q&As with execs) . No more tangents, lively debates, rebuttals, extrapolations or predictions of company's plans/future health. (I'll leave that for articles, lol) /I'm trying to find a balance.
