That would be funny, if it weren't for the fact that Barry and his Co Conspirators are continuing to write Bad Checks on My Grandchildren's accounts

That was obvious, but the Volt has nothing to do with the original article that was posted.
While the Volt does cost almost $42k, from what I understand that drops to $33,500 once the available federal government "encouragement" is factored in. If I were shopping in that segment I'd still rather take the extra room, extra power, and around $15k in extra money that comes with a Honda Fit. Then again I'd be looking for a car, unlike most Volt buyers who will be looking for a "lifestyle accessory". On a semi-related note, whoever the rocket scientist was over at GM that decided to spec an engine for the Volt that requires premium gas should get donkey punched every day he/she remains at GM. Their retirement benefits should be tied to continued donkey punching as well. It is a 1.4 liter engine making approximately 80hp. Why should a fairly anemic engine like that require premium? |
