Yeah....really believable - from the people that brought you the destruction of free-enterprise, legal interest in financial assets, pandering to Unions and their medical plan, et al....

They lied, LIED about Volt’s efficacy, its financing, its value, its performance - everything....Just because you slap the name “Impala” on it ain’t gonna cut it this time, GM. Choke on your cars and trucks.

I don't know if the Impala is any good, but the technology is proven. It is a LOT simpler (and cheaper)to take a good ol' combustion engine and make modifications to run on CNG then to design a car that carries around enough battery juice to propel it 300 miles.

Government Motors. What no one mentions is the cost of the energy it takes to compress the natural gas. That being said, LNG is going to be the future for road vehicles and much more - IMO

Ok, the green liars lied about the volt.

Being conservative does not mean hating green if it makes free market sense.

Note: Honda has been making, selling, and profiting from a CNG Civic for a couple years now without any subsidies.

“GM. Choke on your cars and trucks.”

I don’t even know where to start with you. I just purchased another Chevrolet Avalanche to replace the 2003 that’s now got 165,000 miles on it with very little maintenance. I am in my 70’s and I can honestly say that this is the best car I have ever owned. The new vehicle has an engine that goes from a V8 to a V4 when on the highway at speed on level ground. The fuel milage goes from 19-20 to 28-30 and it makes the change seemlessly. I have a friend who owns both a Volt and a Prius. He says that the Volt is a superior vehicle in every way. So do you have any evidence to support your “claim” or are you just spouting off? I am not happy with the GM bailout either, but GM IS developing good technology
