"I hope the Volt folks are successful and bring the product to market. But most of all, I hope we don't find most of that team, out on the street, looking for their next job."

You mean like the EV1 people? I am skepical and will be until a viable showroom vehicle is out there. I know patience is the word, but GM has been down this road before with absolutely nothing to show for it.

10 years from now (timeframe for toyota's HSD to fully mature), will GM have a similar track record (sales, applications, reliability)?
