@bigboydjs few years back yes , but new lover line cars like civic exl is a garbage in my opinion. I have this car for six months now and i put 26 000 km on it. My trunk is leaking water in when i go to car wash or if it rains alot , all the plastics are assembled with low quality control. I had to reasemble my steerinjg coulms because plastiks where coming of every 200km. Honda rate is as 5.7 l/100km hwy , i get 8.5-9 l/100km. I dot see anythink good about this car. There is more...

In reply to the Volt's "230 mpg" ad campaign, Nissan just announced that its Nissan Leaf gets an "equivalent" of 367 mpg, and the Leaf will probably be around $25K.

The Volt is a whopping $40K, and that just completely turns off consumers who are into "eco" cars.

A car who does 100 kilometers with 1.023 litres?! They a financial crisis & a petrol @ 150$ to put those cars on market!

Buy a 100% electric car is too earlier. Why not put a Maserati V8 on the Vip ?

Nice the new Moon Tires. Another Crossover-ish !

Schumi maybe are back in F1 @ the begin 2010, he says in Geneva!

Do you see what the Execs. at GM just did. They gave out some pay huge payback to the US Government! Think about it...when the Congress slammed them for flying down and then took their company over. They went back and said "let's build that car we know we can that the US Government told us not too...you know the one that gets 200+ MPG. We'll show the US Government when they loose all the taxes they get every year from gas." Way to go GM!

[bravotl777]

Yes I'm sure they think just like that. 8^)

[mabdiuhrman]

yes but with the government in control of the company and the oil companies feeding the car driving it isn't going to be easy. They had a electric car before and then decided to not continue.

[kdockrocks]

The EV1 was killed by the US gov. becuase they realized the devastating effects it would have on taxes. Trust me the US gov. laid a golden brick when GM anounced this car.

[mabdiuhrman]

would it have an effect on Texas ?

[heartlessvietboy]

The EV1 was NOT killed by the U.S. Government!! Get that in your Head!! That stuff is bull shiettzzz. The EV1 was a first project car for testing and GM did not want any liability problems because the technology was still new. They are afraid of getting sued you idiots.

The Chevrolet Volt is not 235 mpg. That MPG is given by the guys at the EPA. They have found an error in their calculation. They have corrected it to 125 mpg. And 125 mpg is a whole lot better than 25 mpg we are all getting in our cars right now.
