Man, I am so excited about this vehicle. It's been my dream car for some time now, and the announced specks were spot on with my expectations. It's unfortunate that it's not available in my state...

Someone at GM was saying that the EV1 couldn't even be produced today with its ridiculous .21 drag coefficient. Apparently safety standards have changed now and the sacrifices wouldn't be possible.

Oh, hydrogen. It was a bad idea then, it's a bad idea now. It was obvious, too, and yet they continued to pursue it. What a waste of resources.

Interesting point and I can definitely see that happening. The only caveat would be that right now mobile devices are at the point desktops were about 15 years ago. I remember when the 1.2ghz Athlon...

I had to chime in on this one. It's a common perception that the PC is dying, and it may very well be that it is, if in fact people continue to consciously choose to use a less efficient method of...

That one made me chuckle. It's true too, if you read the latest news on Apple patent lawsuits.

The lack of widespread use of Linux vs Windows has a lot of reasons, chief of which (at least in my opinion) is the fact that people want customer support. They want to be customers because they're...

That woman's voice cracks me up. "Drill baby, drill"

It's probably nothing fancy, just a set of magnets attached to a sensor on the output shaft of the transmission which sends its data through a wire to the CPU (at least I think that's how a modern...

I hope nobody is seriously considering towing a volt with its drive wheels on the ground because that can cause serious damage. The owner's manual is pretty clear about that.

We might die of poison but at least we'll have a job.

All you really need is a 3.5mm audio cable, and plug your iphone with the updated siri feature directly into the aux jack to have it work in any car (new enough to have an aux jack)

If it prevents...

Luckily, financial institutions have a different standard when it comes to security. Even if an attacker has your password, they may not be able to get in without answering several security...

That'll make a gasoline car look good by comparison

Maybe I didn't make it clear what I meant: this is a goof up by Chevrolet. The "welcome packet" people are getting in the mail has service interval sheet, and it mentions spark plug wires, even...

Oops!

I'm guessing somebody overlooked this before shipping out the Volt quick reference guide and its maintenance schedule (which arrived via Fedex today)

Toyota renewed their patent on the name "Supra" recently which caused a stir as well, because apparently they have to use the name in a production vehicle within 5 years. The same is probably true...

OK, since people don't want to go back and read the rest of the thread, just know this: it's NOT happening. The Volt's engine is not going to get bigger. It will probably just be replaced with a...

The fun thing about the Volt is you can kind of trick people. They don't know you've floored it because there's no revving up of the engine, and no billow of smoke coming out of the exhaust. By the...
