Who's pre ordering the $41,000 Chevy Volt?

[noTe]

I'd rather get a handjob from Edward Scissorhands then to give Chevrolet $40,000 for a electric car.

I worked on the volt, let me tell you money was wasted on the wrong things, some pieces are overly cheap others are way to expensive. Look at the center stack, touch senstive buttons but at the same time the seats are manual and made of cheap materials. Same thing with the door panels, I have seen better ones on a geo metro. Trust me when I say that that car would make a profit if they sold it at 25,000 but they want to make as much money as they can on them.

But is it a good car? I'd like to see a small diesel powering the thing like a diesel locomotive. Forget about the plug in option...

LOL at Chevrolet, pricing this POS at $41K. Seriously? Forty one thousand. LOL. I guess they are counting on our tax dollars to get people to buy it. Awesome.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- General Motors Co. said Tuesday that Chevrolet dealers are now taking orders for its electric car, the Volt. The Volt, which starts at $41,000, will first be available late in the year in California, New York, Michigan, Connecticut, Texas, New Jersey and the Washington D.C. area. The car is eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500.

I don't care if the government paid for $40,500 of it, I still wouldn't buy that POS haha. This is the only electric car I would ever drive...

SSC will display its AESP in the Ultimate Aero EV in order to prove that electric-powered vehicles will not only match but also provide more linear power (electric motors have 100% torque at 0 RPM) and overall performance than internal combustion cars. The Ultimate Aero EV utilizes a twin motor AESP producing an astounding 1,000 HP and 800 lb-ft of torque enabling it to rocket to 60 mph in a mere 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 208 mph. Not only does the Ultimate Aero EV have a range of 150-200 miles on a single charge, but SSC's "Charge on the RunTM" onboard charging system allows for full battery recharges in as little as 10 minutes.

is it a good car, well that is hard to say. It is adequate but I have seen the way things are designed there are better ways to do it. I never understood why they want to redesign things every time on every car when they have things that are already proven, especially parts that are unseen by the driver. They are improving this but I have not seen the prices go down. All I see is the profit margin increasing. Also I don't know how reliable the battery pack is or how reliable the gas engine/electric engine comdo is. I too would like to see a diesel option but that will never happen, the US public is too against diesels.

LULZ! That hurts so bad to read, but that is funny!


I'd probably put a pre-order down for $1,400.0... not $41,000!
