Oh, and the Volt? First off, apply that sweet styling to the rest of the ****ing Chevrolet brand. Also, use better battery tech and keep it as GM's electric-only hippy-happying toy -- it makes more sense to completely relieve it of gasoline. After all it is the Volt, not the Electric-Oil-Burner.

    P.S. Ditch the HHR.

    I'll take my money now.
    I think the only reason the volt can use gas is for longer trips, but if they used better battery tech like you said then they wouldnt need it. But still, not every place in the country has outlets for electric cars yet so you need a back up for a vacation trip or something.

    well i totally disagree with the idea of electric cars. some if not most all of our electricity comes from coal and other unrenewable resources thus transferring our energy to another pollutant. so if they think they are helping the earth i don't see it.

    and i just can't grasp the idea of an electric car. i couldn't deal with the lack of power on tap and reliability etc. no hp

    maybe im wrong about some of it but i just totally disagree with a power source that is not combusting. maybe hydrogen is the better option
