Please tell me one thing that I have lied about.

Clearly

GM is behind the ball when it comes to hybrid/alternative fuel vehicles and they will readily admit that. It will take years for them to catch up. But they have a great start with the Volt. I would say over 90% of Volt purchasers do not own a GM vehicle. It really is a conquest car. Many people...

And I'm not here to pump the Volt and tell everybody that they should buy one and its the greatest thing ever. I'm just here to try to correct some of the innacuracy's (mostly ignorance) being displayed here. I dont care if you are a friend or foe. I like controversy. Nothing great was ever...

The Volt is a new vehicle that is the only one of it's kind. At this point it's not something that can be hugely mass produced. It will be a slow ramp up to full production. Let me put this in terms you can understand. A new mom and pop restaurant opens. They have great food at great prices...

I just showed you that I can get over 40 miles to a charge and you still say the Volt (a car no doubt you have never even driven) only gets 25 miles to a charge. How am I the one lying? OK, where are the owners complaining about this? Where are the others saying they are dissapointed with...

OK, I meant a credible news source. Fox news is not. That wasn't a documentary. Kimberly Guilfoyle said "I’d rather roller skate backwards in the Lincoln Tunnel than drive that thing and break down.” Does she not understand how the car works? She's acting like it broke down or something went...

OK, so I'm not really sure what your point is in all of this. What would you like the lease numbers to look like? Why don't you just look at it from a numbers perspective? By the way, as for my dealership, we have sold very few Volt's to the government and fleet company's. You know, car...

The residual values for the Volt are currently between 57-61%. This is helped out by the included tax credit. Even on a completely different car like the Volt, the people who come up with these numbers are pretty good. Keep in mind that the leasing company keeps the tax credit, so it is not wise...

If the national average is 32 miles roundtrip, then in fact the Volt would be perfect for the average person. Since you have still not presented a single piece of evidence or story of anybody consistently only getting 25 miles per charge, I'll just have to go off of my real world experience of...

So let me get this straight. Because some people have a commute that is longer than the Volt's range, it is a bad car? Your definition of a bad car is that it doesn't work for the people you are describing. Unfortunately that is not the definition of a bad car. You are twisting the circumstances...

Yes, very lousy indeed. I've used 5 gallons of gas in 4 months. Dismal failure. $369 sign and drive lease right now. Brand new car using one gallon a month in gas for less than $400 a month. Terrible deal. Only people on the low end of the totem pole would do that.

That only happens when in extended range mode and rarerly at all anyways. In pure electric mode, it is entirely run on battery. Therefore it can be a pure electric vehicle. GM is correct in labeling it an electric vehicle with extended range capabilities. I have only used 5 gallons of gas in...

From Wikipedia: "A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle." The Volt is able to completely run itself on one source of power, electricity. Therefore it's an electric car. It's not a hybrid if you don't use gas. Gas is only optional...

Thanks for the advice. So I guess I should just get a couple of hundred Euro's here to tide me over until I get there.

I am going to Europe next month. I have been surprised that there are not that many places to get physical Euro's. The best option I have found so far is Wells Fargo. It looks like they will ship $1000 worth of Euro's for at about 1.32 exchange rate. An AMEX travel place wanted 1.34. They are...

Wow you're really losing it. Let me guess, you don't want to buy a car that was made on Friday either? You continually change the subject once proven wrong again and again. I didn't say nothing can go wrong. A car is a car. Things will go wrong. But you really lose any sort of credibility...

So, three Volt's catch on fire (after being severly crash tested) and it's a design problem but 250,000 other cars catch fire a year and it's because of driver error? Buying the first version of a car is not risky anymore. Cars are so thoroughly tested and computer built now. There have been...

It sounds like you critisized the Volt because of the fires and then found that you didn't have a leg to stand on so you switched your reasoning for hating it to the fact that GM got a bailout. So there's really nothing you found wrong with the engineering, it's more that you just don't like the...

So 250,000 gas cars catch fire every year and that's OK because you say it's user generated. Meanwhile three Volt's catch fire weeks after they are crash tested and it's because of faulty design?
