So this is why my last GM was 17 years old and still ran and looked so good!

They need to make a "Powermat" for the Chevy volt so you just drive into your garage over a charging pad and it automatically starts charging.

I love how Chevrolet shows off its durability/fatigue cycle testing. This is how they're able to build cars so that they will fall apart immediately after the warranty expires. Nice job!

@happy543210 GM released the Volt at the exact wrong time. Toyota had very little competition for many years and was able to build up a loyal customer base. Within three years GM will have all sorts of competition to deal with, including possibly India and China, not to mention S. Korea. I have a Volt, and it really is a great car, but there will be many to choose from in the near future.

I love cars that are built by robots =)

I wonder if the US government will bail out GM one more time when this car fails miserably within the next five years.

Probably 3rd or 4th Gen Volt.
