[Volty]

Consumer cost for the car would be less than $30,000, he said.

"We believe there will be an enormous market for this car," Lutz said.

Followed by the find the hidden Leprechan (sp) then follow it to the pot of GOLD yeah that's the ticket

I like the anti-gravity feature.

Lutz still doesn't get it. " Volt still isn't as good a sound bite as forced 35 mpg".........Dear Mr Lutz, please wake up and smell the coffee, the end game is bringing our fuel usage in line with the rest of the world, not sound bites. Not everyone is going to have a hybrid or a Volt.

I hope your young, and don't hold your breath.

you may be old and gray before the volt comes to life

I find the Volt a bit funny looking (I don't like hard edges and I find chrome tacky). It's almost as bad as Toyot's Hybrid X.

It's exciting to see Chevy committing to the production of such a car, however! I think I'd wait for a Japanese electric car before I bought one, but at least American auto manufacturers are starting to be a little less SUV, a little more innovative!

Less than a month ago the Chevy website said 600 miles. What's next, unlimited miles powered by dilithium crystals?

I just wish they weren't so wishy-washy. If they could settle on one solid idea and produce it I'd be happy. And smug, since the Prius has been out longer . Although I have to admit, GM isn't the only one who's been wishy-washy. They're just blatant about it.

I don't know I kind of like the design of the hybrid X...very futuristic albeit not likely to ever be produced in such a way.

As for the volt...lets stop with all the back and forth specs and come up with some hard ideas instead of dreams...
