    Wow, this is just......

    I don't know what this is, I'm just glad we bailed them out so we can witness the rebirth of GM!

    The good news is Michigan's unemployed worker retraining program seems to be successful...

    I actually think the GM executives are just milking the Volt thing to make as much money as they can before they fold. They follow the same pattern. They make a press release every few months to keep people interested, and then they slide the release date back. Rinse and repeat.

    HAHAHAHAHA, that's great.

    Just another insight as to how GM went bankrupt.

    I kept waiting for Micheal from The Office to jump on stage. Just. Not. Quite. Painful. Enough.

    Exactly. Pumping billions of R&D into an electric car that Americans don't want, and have to resort to ad gimmicks to get them to buy.

    How dare they try to be on the cutting edge of the "Green" movement.

    its a sham. the whole movement is tied to gas prices. if gas doesn't go up a lot, most people won't give a shit.

    Whats the estimated price tag on this vehicle? Are showgirls going to do a dance each time a customer buys one at a dealership?

    I also heard that the EV1 would have been very expensive, possibly causing this negative publicity?
