Default chevy volt is a go!

they acutal made it offical like two days ago, also they have stop testing the volt on the tracks and moved onto the streets. they said at work that they should be out 09/10 year. what i have heard the cost might be around 40k but GM is tryin to have the govt. i beleive is to help drop the cost and help lower price cause the car is environment friendly and pay a cut.

i hope this is in the right section

Cool.
At least it's not half as gay as the TOY (Prius).
Maybe, (and hopefully) the General can get back some market share from the Nippons with this thing?

I wonder if all of the smug lichen kissers currently driving their above TOYz are going to cling to their foreign manufacturer, or give their own county's producer a chance??
And if not, what will be their lame excuse now???
