If you really need or want a hybrid:
2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid $25,795 MSRP, 40mpg, 206hp, seats 5. Built in Alabama, USA by non-union workers.

The downward revisions on mileage happened after they drove it outside in cold weather and realized that batteries don’t work as well.
A well connected corporation getting government support and buying its own product makes perfect economic sense.
lol
Not to mention the fact that when you get into an accident with a vehicle made of Reardon Metal, you get wiped out.
Still shaking my head at this one. There are so many hybrid cars out there now and they come up with this piece of crap. I read somewhere that the old Saturn electric vehicle (Ev1) they made for a couple of years in the 90s performed far better than this Volt.
It doesn’t sound like the government’s “Clunkers for Cash” program is going to take off. Of course, a lot of people may be waiting for the pink Energizer Bunny Special Edition model.
The dopes are already promising this SUV Volt. Can you imagine how worthless an SUV would be based on the small Volt? GM SUX.
I have to admit that if Ford had produced this thing, I might be rooting for it. I just can’t support a taxpayer-funded liberalmobile.
Premium fuel to boot.

GM only sold about 1200 Volts between 12/10-3/11 ...
This article is stunning! Share it with everyone you know.
I long for the days in the fifties and sixties when the cars were big and beautiful. Life seemed designed for people then, now it’s for plants,trees,frogs everything but people.
If I wanted a car at that price that required premium gas I’d buy a Lexus...and probably get better mileage.....
Would that be “Associated Motors” or “Amalgamated Motors”?
forgeddaboutit. Here is the car of the future. go see this video of a working hydrogen powered car.

And its built by GM, strangely enough.
Recently, President Obama selected General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to chair his Economic Advisory Board. GE is awash in windmills waiting to be subsidized so they can provide unreliable, expensive power.Talk about back scratching!Consequently, and soon after his appointment, Immelt announced that GE will buy 50,000 Volts in the next two years, or half the total produced. Assuming the corporation qualifies for the same tax credit, we (you and me) just shelled out $375,000,000 to a company to buy cars that no one else wants so that GM will not tank and produce even more cars that no one wants. And this guy is the chair of Obama's Economic Advisory Board?
