Chevy Volt

highpoweredPrius · 09-22-2009, 04:32 PM

Hey guys! So who's excited for the new Chevy Volt coming out? I'm definitely going to be 1st on the list to buy one. Does everyone else think its gonna be as sweet as I do?

I know Toyota is thinking about turbocharging the Prius.. I hope chevy turbocharges the Volt so It'll be even faster!

Decent troll attempt. I'd give it a 4 on a 1-10 scale.

Edit: no longer relevant as the post has been moved to the relevant, relatively unread, forum.

Nah, this rates a 1 out of 10. First post, and clearly understands nothing about either the Prius he supposedly owns or the Volt he's supposedly going to own.

Turbocharge a Volt to make it faster? That's funny.

Whole numbers only, please

+1 for including Prius in screen name
+1 for getting a car year, model and package that really exist
-1 for posting a volt comment on a Prius forum
-1 for posting said comment in the wrong subforum
-1 for not realizing that a supercharger would be more appropriate than a turbo on a Prius and totally worthless on a Volt.

If this is a trolling score, shouldn't posting about the Volt in a Prius forum be +1?

I'd also argue no points for picking a model and package that actually exist, since those are multiple choice and all of the available choices are valid.

Maybe Priuschat needs to toss in some invalid options, as a test for trolls?

The thing I really don't get is I found this thread after someone posted a tweet to it--proud of it?

At least now I know who was likely driving the Prius accross the train tracks ... Mr Turbo

I had to move it from a Gen III forum...sorry, should've made that clear.

Edit: got confused. Gen III seems the right place for trolling.
