I am a ‘die-hard’ American… but the big three in this country don’t have a clue. I offer a challenge to the American Automotive design community. Go to Avis and rent a Nissan Altma hybrid, drive it one hundred miles and then try to build something competitive. I wanted to try a hybrid and this was my choice. They will find a car that rides like a Caddy STS, performs like a Pontiac G6, at 80 all it wants to do is ‘go faster’, Interior about the size of a mid sized Chev, and at the end of my one hundred mile adventure took a whole 2.3 gal of gas to top it off. And, to add icing to the cake this automobile had all of the amities including GPS and has an ‘out the door’ price of under 34K. PLUS, unlike the VOLT, I would not have to put a Honda generator in the trunk if I need to go farther then the Mall.
Looks like the boys over at Toyota above) have a lot of time on their hands since they cancelled their plug-in hybrid plans.
Go, GM! Great job on the Volt…I love seeing the competition and anti-GM people fretting over this amazing machine. Ahhh, the jealousy.
