Wow, you are so right! Every other car company should just forget it, close their doors, and accept their failures. All the workers should just go work for GM so that GM can build Volts. They will need all the help they can get, since every single American with a driver’s license (and probably every human being on the face of the planet) is going to buy a Volt right as soon as possible. The waiting list is endless. I put myself on there seven times. I’m buying seven of them, one for each day of the week. I hope they offer lavender as a color, because after red, blue, yellow, green, white and orange, I can’t think of another color that I want.

I’m so excited about it, too. I can’t get my mind off the new Volt. Nothing will stand in my way. It’s going to be a madhouse when they are finally released, but I’ll be there with my $300,000 check just to get all my Volts. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited Not even on my wedding day was I so excited. It’s just incredible. I can’t wait!

Soon, everyone will have a Volt. Every garage may have more than one, even. All other cars will be scrapped, and all we will see on the road is different shades of Volt. It will start to look LIKE @#$%ING SOVIET RUSSIA!!!

WTF is wrong with you!?

And in Soviet Russia, Oil Needs YOU!!!

There are millions of Americans lining up to get there hands on the Volt and you think its a publicity stunt? Get a clue. GM is about to strike gold with this car, they don’t need ignorant armies of one trying to stop their future success. This car will shine and it will change the face of the Automotive industry.

There will be no more competition when the Volt comes out. No other company has the talent or engineering skill to pull this off like GM will.

This car will never be more than a publicity stunt.

The Saudis will just make GM kill it off somehow.

Who would want Canada? Hairy women, cheap pot and a national sport that involves beating each other with sticks… actually, that doesn’t sound too bad!

We need to pull our troops out of the middle east and invade Mexico and make it the 51st state problem solved.

This is the most exciting thing to happen to this Country since General Motors opened up for business 100 years ago. Everyone is anxious about GM’s new breakthru technology and the vehicle that will put Japan and Germany out of business.

Well hell….I live in Ohio and I see GM plants closing everywhere leaving alot of us kicked to the curb.While they move plants to Mexico but on the flipside there a fairly new Honda and Toyota plants here.Now who is for the American middleclass??????????

“GM is way ahead of the pack with this Volt.” — there is nothing to support this statement. Volvo, Mazda, Honda and Toyota as well as Hyundai and Subaru all have plug-in hybrids in development, many with lithium batteries, many shipping in 2010/2011, most projected to be $30k or less. The idea that the Volt will magically appear out of thin air miles ahead of a competition that GM has yet to enter is just claptrap. No engineer can overcome a six-year head start by the competitors, and there’s no special magic in the Volt that no one else has access to.

the reason he needs more oil for his GM is cuz its a clunker 2007 Silverado that leaks it all out. haha. Get over yourself retarded, not everyone cares as much about the Volt as you do. Its a great idea and all and i, too, can’t wait for the TECHNOLOGY it has. but its still a Chevy.

Well i definitely wouldn’t say that the Chevy Volt is the most exciting thing in the past 100 yrs. I can think of plenty like BM.
But its something different and it will be extremely interesting to see how it holds up and how successful it ends up being. Can’t wait to see it person. If they can keep it in the 30Ks and some good will hopefully come from it. But who’s to say….

Hey, I’m back dickheads. I took a vacation for labor day weekend anyway. Isn’t it funny people can talk $H!T about WHITE PEOPLE with slurs like “cracker” and such but I can’t express my support for the American economy? LLN staff, you guys are a bunch of liberal hypocrites. Oh, I can’t wait to see the Volt in person, just to stay on the topic. By the way, I didn’t see ANYTHING on the rules on what can and can’t be discussed on this message board when I signed up again. And Ed, I saw how you wrote f*k you @$$hole name is banned but he can still talk $H!T worse than I was? I’d like to kick your ass you nerdy little dick.

“This is the most exciting thing to happen to this Country since General Motors opened up for business 100 years ago.”

So, the trip to the moon was nothing? Neither was the first Corvette? How about winning in the Olympics? Or television? iPods? Personal computers? The fall of the Berlin Wall? The atomic bomb? None of that stuff was as exciting as the Volt?

Give me a break. As excited as I am about the Volt, not “everyone” is. This car alone will not put Germany and Japan out of business (not to mention Australia, Korea, England, France, México, Canada, South America, so on and so forth). I like the idea of the Volt, so don’t try to make me look like the “one guy who hates it”. But at its high price tag, the initial take on it will be pretty sour. I won’t be buying one when they come out in 2010. Instead, I’ll be buying something else and waiting until generation 3, when the price finally starts to be reasonable and the technology is perfected. Hopefully, by that time, GM will be putting Volt’s powerplant in just about everything they make.

GM is way ahead of the pack with this Volt. It is where we need to go in america to get off imported oil. Issue is that we as a country are not ready to pay for this tech. Gas is still too cheap. this car will sell what GM says it will sell over the next 2-3 years at an expensive price but unless gas gets more expensive and the battery price goes down GM may have an excellent product but little market. HOWEVER if gas goes to $5/gallon and the Volt gets under $30k after tax rebates from the government they will sell everyone they can build.
