But I'd still like a Xebra pickup, if they upgraded it a bit (including reliability, which hopefully would happen if they built it here instead of China). Check out the news segment on youtube: www dot youtube.com/watch?v=Jsg_iEQzfWk&feature=related (If I made this a URL link tag, it put the flash video right in this post, not what I intended, so now you need to cut & paste & replace the dot...this is frustrating) Last edited by nerfer; 09-26-2008 at 12:09 PM.

Does he know the Volt has a gas ICE? I doubt it. Had he never heard of Zap? Doesn't seem so. Yea, it's cool looking and would be one fun commuter...in that regard I'm all for it. But it's hardly the all purpose family car the Volt should be. |

"Ground breaking" on a factory is a far cry from cars in showrooms. They don't even have a real prototype; they've just "broken ground" for the factory, and we're supposed to believe they're going to begin rolling cars off the assembly line in a year from now? Gimme a break! I love my Zap Xebra. It's a great little city car. But this company has a worse track record than GM.
