Funny how GM guys claim the Volt is all electric and not a hybrid until it is no longer convenient. How about the claims that the gas engine only is a generator and never kicks in to give power to the drive train. That’s not true either, is it?

You know what the article is talking about, plug-in vehicles that qualify for the $7,500 tax credit because of the size of the battery. If it walks like a lame duck and quacks like a lame duck...

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. The Volt is a hybrid. And it qualifies for a 7500 credit I guess. I don’t work for GM so how would that have anything to do with me? I don’t work for the govenment so the tax credit...well I didn’t have anything to do with that either. I have no idea what size battery the Volt has in it. Maybe you need to talk to someone who “claims” the gas engine never kicks in?

And finally, no I didn’t realize the article was talking about, as a matter of fact I didn’t pay attention, I guess, to anything about the cars that qualify for a 7500 tax credit. Heck, that doesn’t sound like a good idea to me. But then again I’m a conservative and I dont’ think the govt. should be picking winners and losers.

Really? I thought this was a gas engine car from day one. I know two guys that worked on the design, Larry Nitz and Greg Hubbard - that's what they told me. And Lutz' book says that also...
