Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the volt based on the Cruze?
and wasn’t the Volt’s problem due to it;s Lithium battery?

I don’t watch television, but my wife does, and she was watching the Olympic trials...I saw several commercials for the Chevy Cruze, and they were touting the J.D. Power award for safety!

I guess the J.D. Power award for safety means as much as the Nobel Peace Prize, or the Pulizer Prize.

“It’s important for a company to create a branding identity—something all its products possess as an underlying, unifying theme. “

These cars are the hottest cars on the market now....

Ping.

Perhaps the car should be renamed The Torch.

GM is actually advertising the Volt on TV as “The Hottest Car in America”. I kid you not.

no where on that page will you find the word “fire”

I guess they don’t care about that.

Looks like it’s based on crash tests. Not “does it burst in to flames” tests.

It will be much worse when Americans who suffer 3rd degree burns when their Government Motors cars burst into flames are forced to seek care from the other GM, Government Medical.

The Chevy Blazer already exists..

It was a 4X4 truck.
