No only did they lie (and this is an outright lie), their result is pretty pathetic when we look at the recent mileages available with common-rail diesels out of VW in Europe - and these cars don’t have all the hybrid complexity. I’m talking of cars that get 45+ MPG on the highway - significantly more than the Volt.
Add the upcoming diesel hybrids in the European market with 80+ MPG... and the Volt looks like what I’ve said it was all along: another stupid distraction, brought to us by the mental masturbators who obsess over plugging in their cars.
I want a federal law passed at some point. Anyone who doesn’t have at least a BS in engineering and experience bringing products to market - they don’t get to tell us how to solve problems. They can say “We think X is a problem.” That’s OK. The public can tell engineers “We need problem X solved, please.”
But all the liberal arts majors must STFU when it comes time to decide HOW to solve the problem.
What was the lie and who is 'they'?
