Friends: 23 | Re: Rumor - GM to put Chevy Volt program on hold / CUt staff today Oh man, this had better not be true. How much have they spent hyping this thing? How many commercials have they run? How many people signed up showing interest? This would not look good. |

Friends: 8 | Re: Rumor - GM to put Chevy Volt program on hold / CUt staff today I think the rumor has been 'leaked' to apply pressure on the Feds to give GM what they want..... money! GM knows how much public hype has been built and how many people have signed on with high expectations, they are going to leverage that 'public support' any way they can. |

Friends: 10 | Re: Rumor - GM to put Chevy Volt program on hold / CUt staff today a somewhat related blurb i saw that said gm was looking at "more aggressive cost cutting measures" and one was to "reduce the cost of R&D for new models"... kinda thought that they should be putting more into the product hoping to get more out of the product when it hits the market. i also the big 3 bigwigs hit up DC for more money to pay their health care benefits. |

Friends: 1 | Re: Rumor - GM to put Chevy Volt program on hold / CUt staff today Since GM is denying this ..... my guess is that it's true. You'd be a fool to buy a GM regardless. They have now killed the electric car .... twice.  ... Brad |

Friends: 1 | Re: Rumor - GM to put Chevy Volt program on hold / CUt staff today I think you US guys should connect financial aid to your ailing automakers by forcing them to improve fuel efficiency. No improvement in efficiency, no money. |
