  I know it's been over a week since you've posted this, but put your big girl panties on. You sound just like steensn defending windmills through propaganda, bullshit, and lies. I know you work there and want to defend the product you helped develop, but get a grip. You're putting words into my mouth and making a fool out of yourself. Please stop before you embarrass yourself any further.  The truth is that Government Motors is attempting to cram the Volt down out throats through subsidies and the bully pulpit. If you're too stupid or biased not to see this, you're pretty much a lost cause. No matter how you attempt to spin it, I'm right and you're wrong, so deal with it. It is obvious to any impartial observer. As for the Blu Rays and HDTVs, they weren't subsidized or encouraged to be bought by the President from the bully pulpit, now were they? Two completely different situations, but I know that doesn't fit your agenda. Nice try, though.  My intention about the 000 miles per charge and $00K price tag comment was to illustrate what was economically viable and would draw interest from the average American consumer. Of course that car doesn't exist yet and that's why the American people are flipping the Volt the bird. It fails miserably by any definition of economically viable or creating interest from the American consumer. The sooner the idiots at Government Motors realize this, the better off they will be. But since they're shutting down production of that travesty for over a month, they may have just bought a clue or something. If they would spend less time promoting a piece of crap and instead devoted that energy toward increasing the range and decreasing the price of any future electric vehicle, they would be on the right track. Sometimes, the truth hurts.  The rest of your post is laughable. Show me one instance where I bashed any vehicle made by the Big Three other than that piece of crap Volt. You can't. Truth be told, I've always bought either GM or Chrysler, not foreign. I may have bashed the UAW since I hate unions, but that's as far as you'll get in that regard. Besides, I love gas guzzling trucks and really fast sports cars. Why would I bash those unless they were subsidized and promoted by a Marxist piece of excrement? The truth is that I wouldn't, since I'm not an EnviroNazi.  As I said before, build an affordable, decent range electric vehicle and people will buy it. Build the Volt and people will laugh in your face while they collect dust on dealer's lots. Once again, sometimes the truth hurts. Deal with it.
