Ping.
....and they come with a Obama 2012 sticker already on the bumper.............
Probably costing us Michigan residents a few bucks on top of that.
Federal subsidies—The gift that keeps on taking(from the taxpayers)!
They’d might as well go whole hog, and subsidize them completely. Then they could drop Chevy Volts out of helicopters, the same way that Ben Bernanke drops paper money.
A Volt in every driveway! Merry Fitna!
Since it works for health care, the government needs to mandate that everyone must buy a volt or they will be fined.
If Ford came uot with either a electric Mustang that would perform like a Mustang and/or an electric F350 that could Haul more then a peice of cardboard, I would look into it. Ford is the company I would buy my next vechile from.
I just saw (for the first time) a smart car...my golf cart could survive better in a crash then that!!
Why even have a price for these things? With that much subsidization, why not make them free?
Has anyone seen one of these on the road? I haven’t.
insanity
I’ll gladly sign a pledge to NOT buy a Volt in return for half the subsidy amount...
Typical volt buyer:
1. $170,000 per year
2. Government employee
3. Union member
4. Obama voter
5. Drooling liberal buffoon
"While much less than the hundreds of billions of dollars that Japanese and Korean auto and battery manufacturers have received over the years, the investments provided by several different Administrations and Congresses to jump-start the country's fledgling battery technology and domestic electric vehicle industries (not just specifically for the Volt as Ford's offering will also use LG Chem batteries and Fisker will use the A123 system for example) matches the same foresight and innovation leadership that other countries are exhibiting and which America has historically taken pride in."
As my mother might have said, "If all the other countries jump in the lake, do we have to, too?"
