Unless I misunderstood, it would seem very silly to add flywheels to a hybrid. The energy still comes from braking. A hybrid already takes that energy (transferring kinetic energy of vehicle to...

They may be boosting inventory ahead of pumping out some of the new 2014 Impala at that plant.

But the range estimator is still probably based on when it was cold. It doesn't predict what the weather will be or how you'll drive, it just goes off of recent past. So I'd guess 5km still equals...

Sorry to hear about your problems finding a good lease. Could the problem perhaps be regional? I'd guess they don't sell a lot of Volts in Mississippi, but that's just my guess. In that case, it...

Here's a comparison plot through Nov 2012, if you're interested. These Prius HEV numbers differ somewhat from those trolled.

don't feed the trolls. It's obvious this person is just being contrarian just to argue.

Well, I'd say they factor in reasonable cost estimates for when they plan on building the car, not what they were when they first designed it. I don't think anything surprising has happened since...

These are very important notes. GM chose to try to make the Volt "A regular car that happens to be electric" as to try to make it acceptable to the mainstream without scaring people off. This is a...

Four years ago? It started in Late 2010, no? That's 2.5 years.

The Fed should take a cue from Wyoming Republicans and raise the federal gas tax a bit and use that money to invest in alternatives and combat the environmental damage gas currently gets to do "for...

Well that's not true. Many can't afford a true BEV with reasonable range (e.g. full battery Tesla). As a single-car owner, I for one could never ever consider something like the LEAF where i'd be...

Bummer. But the good news for potential Volt buyers is they should expect huge discounts to be available now. I don't know what they were last month, but even the non-hidden ones are pretty good on...

Given the seeming flood of deals and new owners the last week or so, i'm going to up my guess to 2717.

2420. Shutdown and discounts looming. Unless the Malibu is picking up and they can scale production.

I find dealership experiences are hit or miss and somewhat a matter of luck as much as what company it is. I went to several dealerships in the almost 2 years leading up to finally buying a Volt and...

So what are you fellow Colorado tax payers doing so far? I'm just getting around to doing my 2012 taxes and discovering this issue. Are all of you just waiting to file?

Thanks to you all for...

hehe, I know it was a little irresponsible and overgeneralizing to add that, but i couldn't resist! After all, insurance is 4x higher than a cruiser for a reason...

Dang, that really stinks. I can't stand the a-hole riders who give us responsible motorcycle riders a bad name. Let me guess, it was a sports bike, right?

Maybe you're right and we all need to...

The range estimator drives me crazy. Not because it's a bad estimator (it's about as good as it can be), but because it is so dependent on what you are doing that day and how you use the car. I'd...

It's a shame that a company as old and relatively respected as Reuters has been completely bought out by oil interests. It's also shocking how poorly veiled it is. And this is from a company that...
