Not only is the volt not that good, and to expensive, but they did have a huge following of people that really wanted one, well the volt has been in the auto show for about 4 years now and still not available to the market, and all that following is gone now. What a piece of shit excuse for a motor company, Ford is the only american company I would buy from.

Heading for another bailout soon with cars like that.
While diesel technology is older than cars themselves and cheap as shit to make. So a diesel can be as cheap and still get a shit-ton better mileage. It also makes a lot more sense for the US since everything is so spread out. The idea of running off electricity 90% of the time is cute but unlikely here because you have to go 30 miles to get to something and likely go 55mph+. Things that an electric just cant do well (but a diesel sure can).Im now E30less.

As anyone considered the fact that hybrids have a benefit only in urban stop-and-go traffic? Not much to offer on highways. And yes, I do agree that the electric portion of the hybrid becomes a gross polluter, both at production and disposal after 4 years... And it makes cars so heavy...Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

How is any of this news?
Besides, honda's IMA is where it's at. lean burn FTW. Hate all you want, but show me another hybrid with a clutch pedal.
As for the volt, it's smart to put in a "range extender" or whatever you want to call it. How else are you going to recharge it when you're not home? wait for AAA to show up with the 5 gallons of gas that won't fit in your battery?
Most people that live in urban areas barely drive 40 miles a day. I, on the other hand, drive an average of 24 miles each way.Last edited by u3b3rg33k; 10-12-2010, 02:46 PM.

One day, hopefully soon, a car's performance will not be measured in HP but in MPG. When it becomes illegal to advertize a car's HP, then the next numbers people will consider is MPG.Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

Efficiency is the future. Not all-out power. And there's lot of bragging to make about efficiency. When fuel was almost 50% more expensive two years ago. What car do you think people wanted? A 35mpg vehicle or a big gaz-guzzling Hemi?
Wait unitl the shit hits the fan in the Persian Golf. Check how much fuel will reach North America, and at what price. Then everybody will be bragging about their MPG...Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.
