		<description>This is simply Lutz&#039;s bullshit propaganda to fight against the proposed CARB standards. Lutz is full of shit, and he knows it.</description>

		<description>&quot;I have a 1990 Ford F150 with over 250K miles on it, &amp; all I&#039;ve had to replace was the starter, &amp; 2nd gear cog. That&#039;s it, that&#039;s all. Other than yearly tune ups &amp; tires, that is.&quot;

250 thousand miles is not impressive or your making shit up pal. Besides, GM trucks go 10 times that on a regular basis and you will never have to replace a thing. Just brakes tires and oil changes. 

Ford couldn&#039;t design or engineer a paper airplane that lasted, let alone something complex as a truck. Your POS is an anomoly.</description>

		<description>You fucking asshole idiots, look at the monster you&#039;ve created. Pushing and pushing and PUSHING for hybrids and all this bullshit, and this is the result - $50,000 econoboxes brought to you by the most unreliable company in the world after VW, GM. 

Have fun getting clusterfucked by that hybrid in 3 years&#039; time, whoever is stupid enough to buy it. I can just imagine the chaos that ensues as the mechanics try to figure out which shitty GM part of the dual-mode drivetrain crapped out this time...</description>

		<description>I guess chairman (or chair attachment) Bob speaks so much about Volt, &#039;cause he assumed product management responsibility. Like most of other responsibilities he failed. Cost should be estimated before product development and adhered more strictly then swinging 33% (30 to 40 maybe so far). My guess (again) it will not stop here: 40 looks to me like 49,500 + shipping cost.</description>

		<description>This is a grave disappointment to me. It&#039;s not so much that I&#039;m suprised about the price, but that it&#039;s been hyped up so much, and then they drop the bomb first about battery testing, then scheduling and now pricing. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if quite a few people considered high 20k to low 30k for a Volt, but 40k seems too much.

You know what I think they should do? Just go back to regular, reliable NiMH batteries, or even bring up the existing issue of large format NiMH batteries, being owned by an oil company.


F451- Very similar to what I had been thinking.</description>

		<description>GM would be far better off leaving the PR work of the Volt directly in the hands of the Volt team. I&#039;d much rather get the updates from the team versus a hood ornament (Lutz). I am genuinely excited about the Volt, but completely turned of when Lutz has anything to say about it. Let the Volt be special, leave Lutz out of it; it will fare much better without him.</description>

		<description>For some reason mentioning of the Putz name makes my posts disappear. 
Johnny, here&#039;s correction: Volt started as electromechanical cure for male erectile dysfunction. Chemical solution by Pfizer saved the day, but chairman Bob redirected research into new venue.</description>

		<description>Stay tuned for next week&#039;s episode of &#039;As the General Squirms&#039; where Carbob Lutz (Leslie Nielson) reveals a shocking secret. Is there really an electric car project, or has his evil half brother Dick Wanker (William Shatner) stolen the only Magic Battery to power his electric hair implant?</description>

		<description>Batteries may cost more for GM then for Toyota. Toyota bought into Subaru, because Subaru has a good grip on batteries development. GM decided to outsource batteries. Now 2 companies must produce profit from batteries GM and whoever they outsourced it. Toyota does not need to share it with anyone. 
But I ma not surprised by Lutz&#039;s fiasco - it is reoccurring event.</description>

		<description>Ah, I see 1115 is up to his old tricks!  No one is mentioning that Honda and Toyota will be in the same boat.  If batteries cost GM this much, they cost everyone this much.

But as far as I can tell, hybrid isn&#039;t about saving money on gas.  I&#039;ve heard you would need to drive a hundred thousand miles in city traffic to pay for the difference in price to get the hybrid in the first place.  It&#039;s about doing something about the environment, foreign oil, etc.  People who care about that stuff will shell out the cash to make a statement.</description>

		<description>This car will never arrive as a serious attempt by GM, this is all smoke and mirrors.
It will be killed off by GM (if it ever shows up at all)
Saudi Arabia won&#039;t let the US switch to electric cars. (they own big oil and probably GM too )</description>

		<description>I think the technology is a good idea regardless if its going to cost a few extra bucks, their will still be a market for it. Look at Hollywood when all those wealthy actors were buying Toyota Prius&#039;s left and right. This technology will be a success...</description>

		<description>Good luck getting 10 years out of an F-150 is all I got to say. Or are you joking? The only trucks that last that long (and way longer) are those from GM. 

Even if you were able to get 10 years out of a POS Ford, you&#039;ll be paying WAY more than 40 thousand dollars in repairs, maiintainence and tow truck fees you idiot. 40 thousand dollars is a great price for that piece of mind knowing that you are driving the most dependable vehicles on the planet. And the piece of mind of knowing that you are doing your duty as an American by buying American made cars and trucks from GM.</description>

		<description>I could buy an F150 and drive it for 10 years and donate the vehicular carcass to Goodwill for less than the cost of this.  

That&#039;s crazy.</description>

		<description>Shelling out 40 freakin thousand for a car just to avoid using gas.  How is this NOT the GM EV1 all over again?
Did Lutz get the memo that the Prius became the first successful alternative fuel car because it&#039;s, you know, PRACTICAL?</description>

		<description>forget it. im all for supporting domestics but if they dont have what i want at the price-forget it.  if they make one of there micro-car (triplet things) id rather just take on of those instead. 40K is way too much, unless they make it a Cadi.</description>

		<description>Not that it the technology is, but I can see why Toyota&#039;s chairman said the Volt was &quot;wacky&quot;. $40 for people who worried about gas prices and a falling US dollar is not close to being good. The Prius was a smash hit because of the price point and everything you got for that price. Nav, HID headlights, and of course the gas mileage. They should think about putting it in cars with more luxury so they can absorb some of the sticker shock.</description>

		<description>These are excellent prices when you think about it. People will be busting down the doors at GM dealerships to buy one of these revolutionary, high quality and extremely reliable vehicles from the General. It is our duty as Americans to support GM in their efforts and if it means paying a few more dollars for it will be a win-win situation for America. GM is the backbone of this nation and we need to support it or die.</description>
