why do they need to innovate? if they sell a crappy product, us taxpayers just make up the difference

America as a whole is a country of narcissistic, greedy assholes. It's sad how the psychological nature of society has been so twisted to glam and stupid opinions rather than logical sense

I'd rather us front the bill to an American auto company than throw away billions of dollars and thousands of lives for nonsense wars. I don't like either for sure, but it doesn't take a genius to know what one is the lesser evil

The Volt is priced higher because it is a much nicer car than other hybrids. Chevy's vision was to create a hybrid that doesn't skimp on all the amenities people have come accustomed to in straight gasoline cars.

The Volt is leading edge hybrid technology and people are shitting on it for partisan reasons. It's Ridiculous.

Which really was the government stopping the owners of GM to screw over labor.

It was actually the pensions that were the problem. Basically it would have meant massive economic ruin for middle class people.

Not really. The interior is very feels very small although its very well appointed; other cars 15K cheaper can also boast that. The shape of the battery and the room it takes in the passenger seat also gives it a claustrophobic effect. I drove one. Its all yours.


PS As far as I know, the Volt is selling between 35,000$ and 40,000$. I can spend my purchasing dollars much better.

so to get government money, you just need to promise your employees a pension, and then fail as a business and be unable to fund it?
