The Chevy Volt may end up becoming a huge embarrassment for GM.

May? It doesn't look like it can be anything but. Investors and taxpayers get taken to the cleaners again by Obama, GM and the UAW.

I’m waiting for the Ohm.

Consumer reports is clearly a right wing rag. LOL

this really was expected by me. obamamobile sucks in money and doesn’t deliver, just like it’s namesake.

I don’t know. I mean, Barry drove it ten feet and said it was a great car. If he said it, well then it must be true and we should rush out and by one. Oh, wait. Let’s get one during the Christmas Season car buying rampage.

If it was such a winner, the Volt wouldn't need a massive Gov't rebate to buy one. I see this car as the next punchline, officially retiring the Yugo.

Yea,approx.44,000 for a Chevy Cruze!

I guess I’m not surprised at any of this. The Big Three aren’t so big anymore among a lot of people...well, except maybe union members.

Volt: The best coal-powered vehicle in America!

I am still waiting for the article explaining how GM made a profit last year. I assume it is a combination of accounting tricks and government bulk purchases but until someone does the research this is just my speculation.

If you really need or want a hybrid:

2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid $25,795 MSRP, 40mpg, 206hp, seats 5. Built in Alabama by non-union workers.

“...with expectations as high as 120,000 in 2012”

Sure its a crazy number pulled out of his back side; but, lets just multiply that by the $7,500 subsidy, shall we?

$900,000,000

Really?

[lacrew]

I imagine there are rumors at GM dealerships...like stories of Bigfoot...”see Bob over there...his father in law works at a dealership in Jersey, and he sold a Volt. Really, Its true, Bob saw the bill of sale...go ahead, look it up on Snopes.”

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I bet 9 out of 10 Volts made end up owned by some government agency.

[PGR88]

Look on the bright side. Obama is giving traders the chance to short GM stock all over again.

It’s going bankrupt twice!

Expect an executive order requiring CR to take Federal money, so they can regulate it!

Consumer advocacy is far to important to be a private enterprise!......../sarc

Compare this to the Toyota Prius which gets 51 MPG and starts at $23,000. This is data that hardly seems to justify the $7,500 taxpayer subsidy each Volt sold receives.

Look for the union label! ;-)

When gas hits $10 dollars a gallon, Moped will be the way to go. Obama Motors will be obsolete.
