looks like a Honda, or Buick, or any number of look-alike roller skates

If that’s the same car from the commercial with the business-y guy who was acting like a total jerk...well no wonder!

Granted, he was speaking about how great it is that Americans have (had?) this go-get-it attitude and the commercial was very pro-US. Still, they could’ve done it without the guy making Americans sound like egotistical so-and-so’s

N’est pas?

I really wish the truth about just how much environmental damage the construction and long-term operation of an electric car does versus that of a non-electric.

I bet good money that if you took an original '68 Mustang, back before catalytic converters and all the other pollution controls were slapped on cars, and compared it with an electric car over their entire lives -- I mean, from the materials being pulled out of the ground, through its construction, during its operation, to what is left behind to rot in a junkyard -- you'd find the old Mustang far, far less environmentally damaging than the electric car.

Whatever possessed GM to rebrand a Volt with the Cadillac insignia? Do they really think the Prius owners will switch? That’s just stupid.

It’s a Volt with a higher luxury package. If they priced it in the 40s, it migjt move. At over 70,000 folks will just get a Tesla.

For less money they offer the 2014 CTS-V COUPE with 556 horse power.

Because the libtards want something like the Prius. Just like the South Park episode, they want a smug symbol and Cadi’s doesn’t give the impression.

I’ll never buy another UAW made car. They can get the Democrats to steal my tax money, but they won’t get a penny from me willingly.

I’m going to visit my Caddy dealer and offer to put that 750 miles on each of them so they get cashback from GM. I do about 750 miles a week.

Jeez you’ think they would be flying off the lot since Sean Hannity loves his.

Could buy two VW Passat models, TDI (diesel) for that money.

The VW diesel gets about 36 mpg real world mileage, or more.

One conventional diesel engine is all of the technology to worry about.

The VW diesel vehicles hold their value very well.

Let me guess these unsold cars will be called “test vehicles” and GM will crow about how they have less inventory of these vehicles.
