Default Re: Chevrolet Volt concept... plug-in hybrid

I wish they would stop talking about it and build one. It's not unheard of for companies to make these kind of anouncements as a misdirection or distraction. A company with GM's financial problems is desperate to build consumer (and investor) confidence. This is a great propoganda piece, and I really, really want to believe it. Although as written, it's claiming that in 3-5 years it will not only overcome the 7+ year gap in this technology with Honda and Toyota, but surpass them. Bold words, and I hope they're true.

I wonder if GM knows that to the hybrid community (at least this one), Spinella is not an endorsement, he's a punch line.
