Re: GM sees 'showdown' with Toyota on electric car
you will never see the volt in a show room the way it has been presented in ads and at car shows.
GM is notorious for publicizing cars it has no intention of making. Pushing them as future options to keep people interested in the brand, then distract them with the next show car while they pull the plug on the previous one.
Remember the EV1? I drove that car and loved it. But what happened to it? GM buried it. Or more precisely, crushed it.
even if they end up making 5k or 10k of these cars that does not mean they have produced what they have hyped. They will just pull the old lease trick out, claim there is no viable market for PHEVs or whatever they dont want to invest in and kill the project to keep from having to actually move forward with the company.
