There's also the announcements by Bob Lutz about the X truck and EREV Escalade

What I predict GM will do and what I wish GM would do are very different things. Taking out options really doesn't save GM anything. In cars where they have a nice fat margin, they can do that, but...

My chemistry teacher told me that fact but I hadn't looked it up. Here's what wikipedia says. Basically it's exactly what I said, Americans researched it for decades and as you state, the Japanese...

Ironically the US invented lithium ion and did nothing with it. The Japanese and Chinese started using the technology and to my knowledge to this day we still don't make any. Each time we improve it,...

Great post. It's definitely a Chevy. The price premium is the technology, but I see your point, there is some refinement that GM should have made at this point to any car they produce no matter what...

Wouldn't it be nice if you set the cruise control? Ok sarcasm aside, I do this all the time, I get grooving to music or whatever and I look down and I'm doing 90 and freak out. I've narrowly missed...

This just reemphasizes the fact that we have nothing even remotely resembling a free market economy. These laws are ridiculous.

Not to hijack, but I think it's funny when people think we have a...

Is it because they're switching to winter gas or something? Seems like there's always some excuse for prices to rise.

$45/month. That is impressive for PG&E. My 1 bedroom apartment with no heater or air conditioner in Oregon where our power is cheap hydroelectric with my student discount is ~$50/month.

BTW. How...

You guys act like your driving habits are the same as everyone's. I personally drive about 10 miles per day, and once a week about 100 miles when I go to a nearby city and back and once in a while I...

Yahoo finance is about the only news I watch these days because they don't obfuscate, they actually have pertinent expert guests to interview and ask pertinent questions without injecting their own...

Yes, I am pretty sure they were figuring in the $7,500 tax credit when they said under 30K. If you include federal and dealer discounts, it's already $30K as promised. In the states with tax credits,...

It's ironic but true that the more/faster information travels with new technologies, the easier it is to marginalize the truth. I consider myself republican overall, but watching Fox news makes me...

The politics surrounding EREVs and EVs is ridiculous. Someone posted a comment about the article that we could have just taken the $1 billion GM invested in the Volt and built 50 CNG stations. And...

Definitely not earth shattering sales figures. After following the Volt since 2008, I was hoping it would be making a little bigger splash. Even with gas at $4/gallon, no one seems to care that much...

You guys are so lucky. I'm stuck driving to Costco so I can wait in line for 15 minutes and fill up and pay $60/week just to drive my Honda Accord getting 26 mpg. Some day I'll have my own though...

Unless you have some way of getting food to your face by teleportation, your food prices will go up. Every plastic bag, every tire the trucks drive on, every drop of diesel moving your cheerios...

Yes, parallel hybrid Cruze would be nice, although Cruze has already been for sale internationally for almost 4 years now (Korea), I'd think it would probably come in the next gen Cruze which is fine...

GM planned on this when they set the price tag last year. They sold it under cost with the knowledge that eventually they would break even and perhaps start making back the bath they were taking....

Yep, we should just all buy German gas guzzlers. Come on. Everyone admit it, we all know we'll never be able to feel good about ourselves until we are dependent on foreign countries for our cars, and...
