EV1 back in production?

b2j2 · 11-13-2008, 12:10 PM

The New York Times of July 4th, 2009, includes a GM (new motto: "Because we have to.") ad announcing reintroduction of the EV!

See at The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia. (Need patience, the ads apparently rotate).

Print copies handed out in New York and elsewhere.

Yeah but from what I heard they couldn't find enough people interested in it the first time.

(can't wait til Darrell reads that)

This is not going to be pretty.

Is there some kind of filter that the Mods can put on either this thread or
Darrell to keep things down to a dull roar?

Ya mean like a muzzle, bug-boy?

I finally found the thing by clicking "most popular." Neat! Most interesting is that I even know which car is pictured. My spies are on top of this. The giant racing stripe and fat tires kinda give it away.

Tony is right though. Just ask any EV1 driver. To a person, each one will tell you how bad they sucked. How upset they were to have GM foist these terrible things upon the unsuspecting public. People tried to avoid driving them, and GM sure as heck tried to avoid leasing them. But through some quirk of fate, every last one ever made availalbe was leased... twice!

darrelldd,

A muzzle? Never. Rather, a filter that would attenuate, not stifle.

Bug-boy? Please, let's not be so prosaic.

I will gladly answer to Man-Made, Micro-Miniaturized, Computerized Ant-Boy,
or better yet Ari-Man. -- See post #1 here for details:

I know this was meant as a joke, but....would they, could they build more? Were the moulds destroyed too? Wouldn't it be easier to resurrect than building Volts?

GM would NEVER restart production. You should already understand why
