The Volt is the first hybrid that makes any sense, series hybrids should be
much more efficient than parallel plus you can plug it in. Many people would
make much of their driving purely on electricity with no need to worry about
running out since the gas engine would just start.
Now if they'd made it with a diesel engine they'd be able to see some real
mileage...
Which reminds me Chevy is still making the Cruze diesel but apparently they
don't sell many. I wonder if this is the same foolishness Jeep did a few years
ago with the Liberty CRD, they only made 8,000 and complained that they
couldn't sell them but there weren't any available...

I vote they buy up the Chevy Volt and after spending billions to make it
work, re-badge it as the I-Fail...
Instead of people camping out to get in line to get one, they could make
camping equipment part of the design package so you would have a shelter
when it dies and leaves you stranded. Marketing people could sell that..
yeah.. The kit could come with scissors so you could cut grass, go green,
and not go hungry..
