And I don't even like prius but it is a better and smarter move than GM. GM could do better so much better, they have capability, technology available, even money man. But they won't. Why? Gotta keep oil running. But the funny thing is, that's why they went out of business ha ha ha ha ha.

Lol your funny. They have done so much in the past. Look at what their doing now to America. GM porpusly does stupid illogical, irrational, things to keep oil companies in business THEY DON'T GIVE A RATS A** ABOUT AMERICAN PEOPLE. They are the only maker of cars in America and their gonna use it to their advantage to force products onto people that they do not want, such as 4$ per gallon gas. When foreign companies released cars like Prius 50mpg, GM released Hummer 4mpg. GM is very rational.

Agreed. Technology is here for batteries that get a lot more than 40miles per charge. WAY more than that. But GM needs to make sure that oil companies stay in business and force their oil products onto people even though something better is available.

NOT AT ALL IMPRESSIVE. See what the small company Tesla has done. GM is or rather was a(Now bankrupt) slow moving lazy arrogant inefficient company . Results are here now BANKRUPT. See TESLA and shut up.

i can predict that the Prius plug in with exceed 60 or even 80miles range. Volt needs to do better than 40miles or the consumer will look elsewhere in 2010 when all the E cars comes out

Keep doing what you do Chevy. To heck with the naysayers and critics. The fact that many Americans have thrown out their history books does not mean that all of us have forgotten what the auto industry has done for America. I wish you all the best.
