I don't know...positive points in it's favor (of doing minimal damage to the Volt).

1) It sounds like it was sung by the Alvin and the Chipmunks, so you can't understand a damn thing they said = product disconnect.
2) At no time do you actually see more than 1/3 of a front wheel of the Volt=product disconnect.
3) They use 3 scantily clad women jiggling their jiggly bits, which is a time proven method of disconnecting the view from everything.

People should Google "We Built This Starbucks" to see how a company can make themselves look retarded with a professionally produced soundtrack.
 
Was at the LA auto show yesterday. Didn't have
the privilege of watching this show.

This video convinced me that this Volt will be
a smashing sucess.

Who cares if other companies may come out with
less expensive electric cars! Even though it is
a recession, it is absolutely genius to come out with
a car at this price.
 
You can pick up a used mid-90s Civic for about $3k with 100-125k miles. If well maintained, they can easily last an additional 150k miles with pretty good gas mileage.

I have absolutely no clue what GM is thinking pricing this car at $40k. If I was going to spend $40k for a Chevy, I'd buy a fully loaded Camaro SS.
 
The Volt is priced high because GM figures they will have to battery replacements withing the warranty period. Basically you are prepaying for a second battery.
 
For the first time in many many MANY years, I think I am about to buy a GM car for the wife after the first of the year....she wants a new Buick LaCrosse CXS in Mocha Steel Metallic with two tone titanium interior (after looking at Lexus and Audi products???).

Oh well, we are going to give GM a shot and see how it goes, but the Volt is a car I would never buy....I think their price point will really hurt the potential of this type of car.

BTW, that marketing dance routine looks like a bad act from a downtown Vegas hotel show.......LOL! :eek:
