So this is the end result of Billions in bailout, and mandates from Obama to get green?
A $41,000. compact car? And one that may get me to work, but not home?
I didn't pay that much for my wife's brand new Fusion SEL, loaded, with leather, and sunroof, and I still get about 32 MPG.
What a loser Obama is, see what he got for Billions......:lamo

Unless you work in another state, the Volt will have no issue getting you home.
I personally am very interested in the Volt, and when I need a new car I might get one.

I want to know just how efficient the Volt is when you factor in electricity costs. 230 mpg is extremely misleading.
How about a poll.
How many of you have an electrical plug in station at your work?
You don't need a plug-in station at your work. The gasoline engine that kicks in gives the car a total range of 400 miles. When the gasoline engine kicks in, GMC claims the mileage is around 50 MPG.
You're too young to remember the old Geo, aren't you.
I think I've already pointed that out.
I wouldn't! A Ferrari is just as useless as a Volt. The only advantage that a Ferrari has, is that you can pick up waaaay more *****. I'm kinda betting that a Volt isn't going to attract a whole lotta babes.
Yeah, and an over...night trip is all it would be, unless everyone wore the same clothes a couple days in a row and your wife did laundry every third day.

Make an electric Cadillac and I'm all over that

I wouldn't take an electric caddy over my cts-v. Much rather pay that type of money for 550 hp rather than 230 mpg.
Ford sells 65 mpg car…in Europe only?! on clarkhoward.comBusiness Week recently reported on the Ford ECOnetic, a vehicle that gets 65 mpg, runs on diesel and is available in Europe only. Huh?! One of our automakers making a great vehicle like this and not selling it in the United States? It turns out Ford can't figure out how to manufacture the ECOnetic over here without losing money on each car!
This is sad:

They'd either have to build a new plant in the U.S. or import them -- can't make the business decision they say: The 65-mpg car Ford won't sell in US - MSN Money
I might get a Electric car to save on the gasoline, since I drive around a Elderly woman. I would be saving money on gas as well. It will also lower my Car emendations which I consider a plus, and will also reduce air pollution.
However I will not be getting the volt, since its out of my price range for a car. Thought I do think that I will be getting the Nissan Leaf , and the fact it will keep the money I have with in our boarders, and this will help us not relay on foreign oil as much anymore, so I will be happy plus it comes in my favorite color which is blue.

CTS is the Tonka Toy of Cadillacs. An Oldsmobile in a Cadillac body.
Let me know when you're ready to move up to the big boys of Cadillac DTS and STS.
Are you going to save enough to offset the $800 a month note and the $2,500 battery you're going to have to buy after three years?
