They will never bring this car to market because they cant decide what they want it to be. Who ever in runs the company has no ability to decide it like he has thousands of ideas to choose from and is so scatter brained nothing really gets done. |

In short, there is no plan to change the gas ICE/generator for the US version of the Volt. | |

I personally like the futuristic look and to be honest it isn't like the prius has the best looks either. Also, I totally support GM an American car maker trying to advance it's fleet towards more fuel efficient vehicles. I didn't go out and buy a prius simply because I'm in love with the prius, I bought it because it is the most practical vehicle a person can buy at the moment. If chevy develops the Volt and it is more efficient I'm not bitter; I'm more excited. The additional competition will hopefully spur a "fuel mileage" race rather than the "biggest engine" era of old. The next gen prius, chevy's e-flex technology, and ford's hySeries are all exciting technologies that I am eagerly awaiting to arrive for the public!! (also it looks like some people got the impression that this is a purely hydrogen chevy volt. It is still the e-flex technology just the hydrogen version used to recharge the battery. Chevy said they can make these hybrids with hydrogen, biofuel, ethanol, diesel, gas... it doesn't matter, this is just the hydrogen verison, not a full out hydrogen car, it still gives you the 30-40 miles of pure EV mode)

If you go to the Chevy website you will see the hybrid they are brining to market in 2008 is a full sized 4x4 suv that will at best get 21mpg highway and Chevy is bragging about how green it is.The volt is supposedly years away. http://www.chevrolet.com/hybrid/ |
