The “Volt” isn’t a bad idea, it’s just a POS!

The ‘Obamamobile’ .... cut a hole in the floor so you can do the ‘Fred Flinstone’ when it runs out of juice & gas is $10/gal.

GM asked my company to bid. The CEO told them to pound sand, when GM predicted 40k units sold per year. Our CEO laughed at them and we walked away. We did buy one of the first 500 just to see if any patents were infringed.

Limited range. Long charge time. Diminishing battery strength with each charge. Battery drains faster when heating the cabin in winter and cooling in the summer. High price. Need for a new battery after so many charges. Nowhere to charge up. Limited capacity of load and passengers.

Aside from that, it’s a great idea.

Overpriced gasoline powered car with accessory battery pack that’ll run you $8,000 every four years. Oh, GM shareholders, you're on the hook for the first replacement battery pack for every Volt, since they have a 5 year warranty.

In California, though, it'll start selling, as it's yet another way to buy your way into the HOV lane.

Obama politicized the GM brand when he pulled his takeover stunt. GM was my favorite brand. Now I will never buy another one. I will not condone or vindicate his socialist ideas.

The fact that electricity isn’t free and doesn’t just come out of a socket in the wall has escaped Obama and his minions. These crappy cars are not any more environmentally friendly than a high mileage mid sized car.

The very fact that the “Big O” thinks it’s great should turn people off. What the hell...he has been wrong about absolutely everything else he has ever touched except food stamps.

The ingredient that they missed in all this is that most people don’t want to be told what kind of car to drive. I feel like and I sure others feel like that this was crammed down our throats. To hell with Chevy Volts, I will drive what I want to and that is FORD lol.

OK.

I’ll tell you exactly what is wrong with the Volt:

Two things:

1) It’s stupid looking (yes design matters) and
2) It’s approximately $30,000 too expensive.

Those are both deal breakers for most buyers.
