Wagoner Heading to Bailout Hearing in Chevy Volt Prototype

Looks like HON civic.One question,chevrolet was been bought by chinese?))

To whom it may concern etc. Fitting a Chevy Volt with a Chevy Cruze body and driving to Washington is not lateral thinking, out of the box, etc. This guy should not be applauded. If you want the American tax payer to bail you out then start thinking! Ever heard of buses and trains? Or, why not drive a standard car? Sure, I know its a marketing/persuasion idea, but how much does it cost, given you are broke, to outfit this Chevy Volt? Let's pretend it costs $1.00. That is one dollar you guys don't have. However, full marks for at least trying this time, a couple more board meetings and you guys might get back on track and save our asses too so that we can buy your products in the future.

Wikipedia- "According to GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner, his worst decision of his tenure at GM was "axing the EV1 electric-car program and not putting the right resources into hybrids. It didn?t affect profitability, but it did affect image."" well maybe it did affect profits.... GM should've been so far ahead of the game... and then they trashed their advantage

Volt - schmolt. He rode in a Malibu Hybrid. I'll be *THAT* was fun.

Volt will NOT make it from Detroit to DC. It will break down.

Lets see... They drove the most efficient prototype that they already had sitting in the garage. The dollars to build it were already spent. The rail system in the US is a joke and the only way you are going to find a bus from Detroit to DC is by chartering one yourself - no way that's cheaper than driving the a Volt! If you are going to make a comment that doesn't make sense at least do us all the favor of making it entertaining! The EV1 was certainly ahead of its time but it failed due to the fact that miniscule consumer demand wouldn't begin to cover the development costs. Thank the politicians for requiring the car companies to build electric vehicles then rewarding the ones who didn't by dropping the requirement after GM had already invested millions. Meanwhile, the majority of the other vehicles GM produced during this time were left to rot instead of being improved.
