I full expect it to blow up with a bunch of nuns or orphans unexpectadily you think the oil exects are going to allow this

Why can't they use a battery that has better performance? The Tesla gets 220 miles per charge and it, too, uses Lithium Ion. They have a proprietary battery design but good grief GM, if you can't figure it out, buy the rights. 40 miles per charge is not acceptable to most people.

They'll all just get jobs as electricity execs and in 10 years electricity will be $4/kwh.

I wonder how long it would take to charge 40 miles? Might take two days to get from here to KC.

That's a good point. The Tesla also looks badass.

its too bad the design change from the concept. most concepts don't make it that far in design. I just thought that whole new futuristic look would bode well with the actual purpose of the vehicle and its tech. a new look, a new technology, a new day could have been the slogan. as a proud camry owner who recently opted for it over the prius last december(smacking myself), I wanted to give the volt a serious look when it came out. I had hail damage recently to the camry and had a rental when it was in the shop. they gave me a new impala to drive, what a hunk of junk. ill continue buying foreign autos until the americans can get it right.


on aside note, have any of you noticed a plastic smell in the impala that won't go away?Posted via Mobile Device

No.

I think the impala's are nice

I have a 2006 Impala. It's about as exciting as a glass of milk, but it's a good car.

glass of milk is good as long as it gets your to work

from a far yes. I went from on 06 is250 to the 08 camry. I just think the poor design and cheapness in the materials really turned me off.

Well, it gets me to the train, which gets me to work.

It's just.... DULL. My last car was a red Mustang. Now I have a silver Impala. I'm an old fart in an old fart car. It's depressing. :(

That's a start. I'm glad to see some American ingenuity taking place.

my friend then you need not worry about gas prices as you hardly use it ;)
