Awww, why couldn't they have made it 42?!

And what make people believe that all this talk about the volt is more then smoke that GM is putting out? After the great work they did with the EV1? A strong message may be more to scare away competition then actually market a product. They can always delay saying there have been technical difficulties later.

How sad that one company is moving forward and so often all you hear from the green community is synicism. The EV1 was an experiment. If you'd paid the full cost you'd never own one, GM paid that and when it was clear that the EV1 technology would never be profitable and the owners (GM) disposed of them folks create propaganda movies villifying them. Sad Sad Sad.

For the many of us who live in the real world, we are thrilled with the potential of the volt. A great gas free car that can turn a profit for the builder and perhaps start a revolution.

What I can't figure out is if the EV1 was so perfect then why don't the former owners and their green friends and the propaganda film makers start their own company and build them? Put your money where your mouth is. But of course its so much easier to stand on the sidelines and critisize others isn't it?

Go Volt team! America needs you! Shoot, the World needs you.

I'm excited. I have owned GM vehicles pretty much my whole life. But had to abandon the line for a more evironmentally friendly vehicle. But in 2010 (which is unbearably far way) I will be a GM vehicle owner again.

PLEASE, PLEASE GM follow the fortitude Toyota had by sticking with the Prius when it was not profitable.

EV1 was a car for the masses, we were betrayed! GM can rot, other manufacturers will fill this need while those with money to burn will buy the flashy "volt"!

I agree with Chris C.

I'm in Canada and this looks like a great car!

As for the EV1, put the past where it belongs. Have you ever heard of, you know, learning from your mistakes?

to Chris C. have u even looked at the specs for this car? its still runs off of gas. just less gas. its not a fully electric car and a ripoff. it only has and electric mode range of 40 miles!!! what are u gonna do on a road trip? or if work is more than 20 miles away? it costs less on gas but one thing newer cars have proven is the more you rely on electronics and wires the more problems that are bound to happen. ordinary mechanic shops wont be able to help you and you will have a harder time helping yourself unless you take it to the dealership. which of course they will have a monopoly over your pockets unless you can take it somewhere else. which is highly doubtful.it costs less on gas but one of those cars wont last 8 years. unless you have very deep pockets. and what about the battery itself? rechargeable batteries hold less and less every time you charge it. so how many times will you have to replace the battery itself? and where will you get this battery? the dealership of course. and that in itself is a monopoly, because they have the parts you will need and cant get them anywhere else. the "volt" itself cant compete and seems very different from the reliable gm cars that they used to produce. and if this car is so efficient, where do they profit? profit is the first thing that a company will always look for. in the specifications i see that it is turbocharged and only has 160 horse? it doesnt look like a very light car. so the horsepower to weight ratio is going to be awful. not to mention how much of that power is actually going to get to the wheels? when a stock 1998 ford taurus or a stock 1994 pontiac grand am with only a 4 cylinder in it can go FASTER that a TURBOCHARGED BRAND NEW CAR, that is pityful.

-People like GM
-People like a good gas economy
-People like a fast looking car.
THIS IS HOW YOU BETRAY THEIR TRUST!

do u know wat a turbo does besides giving power?
;D

Finally...ha If anyone checks you-tube check out the magnetic engine and car this is a truly green automobile that does cost much and if a guy in Nebraska can build one how come G.M. has'nt picked this guy up and does the exact same thing..Automobile lobbyist are a joke

I have two words for y'all....spell check
