Description: However, GM and the American government are reluctant to do this due to the likelihood of intellectual property theft. In retaliation the Chinese government is refusing to grant the Volt the $19,500 ...

Long gone are the days when you could get your hands on a govt issue Thompson or BAR.... now you can only get Garands, M1 carbines, 1903s and 1917s surplus :((((
Miguel, whatever makes money. Since we can't sell the tens/hundreds of millions of automatic weapons we have stock piled to our civilians under current ATF laws, why not sell them to other countries???
@Vincet Exporting Dollars and weapons should the last thing we export. We should export stuff civilians can use like electronics and so on
I think we should tax foreign cars in the us for retaliation toward china!
This is already old technology. Let them steal it. Tech advances so fast that once it hits the market the better, more powerful and efficient tech is already in the works. IMO, you can keep your protectionism.
They're already reverse engineering it anyway. Everyone steals technology, let's just hope that GM makes their money back before it is replicated.
The Chinese will not buy this pos shit just like we don't buy them here. Billions of our tax dollars spent to make pointless cars. Heard they recalled the volt bc they catch on fire and the batteries leak in a collision? Want one now?
The trouble with building any factory in china is that the factory and all the technology it has in it will belong to the Chinese government. So if GM build one there, that would be giving away there technology away.
Micheal we make alot of money from china and many other countries. In fact America is the number one in exporting in terms of dollars. We are the biggest technology exporter. And also weapons, lots and lots of it.
Yeah U.S. bails them out, and they're thinking about giving the technology to the chinese government. Stupid idiots! (GM)
BTW I'm talking to GM not you guys. I love GM but holy crap I don't understand why this is so hard to figure out. We need to be exporting the hell out of everything and quit relying on everyone else.
It's called EXPORTING you stupid douchbags! This is what's wrong with our economy! Don't give them sh*t other than completely assembled vehicles!
I don't see why this is so special? transfer of tech....haha..china can copy, we all know that. They probably have already and may be selling it as well...big corporates will always keep this fact in wraps.
No!! Make money off china for once. We buy everything from them. We have something they want, use that upper hand and don't give it away
Lemme get this straight. They want to steal our technology and give volt buyers no government incentives but we give the BYD a $7,500 tax credit with your tax dollars. Can you say 15 tru tru tru trillion in debt. How could it be?
@ Alex that's just a crash test dummy just in case a Prius comes in to take revenge. Lol
You'd have to look stupid to be smiling about a 75,000 electric car that probably gets outgunned by a Prius.
Chinese are buying everything from America
Ig in china they want Buick so much that it's worth making them there ha. My dad likes Buicks a lot but their way too soft, for example the Century he has.
I can't even keep track of all the people on here anymore... Aren't you the guy who has a Camaro? I can't remember if you have the Camaro or the civic, aye aye aye.... It's to the point that you just fire back with all guns ASAP.
You girls need to meet at 3pm at a bike rack behind the school and duke it out.
Lmao @Ken. I'm just kidding dude.
Don't worry Raymond, I have a deep hate for you too. Probably a lot more than you hate me.
Lol I hate Ken Madison so much.
Only problem with Paul's comment is Chinese people love buicks and they build all chinas buicks in china...
Paul is spot on. Blue ribbon for him.
Keep Chinese stuff out of the USA, and bring American products there. That's the kind of thinking we need.
Nope. Prius alternates between using electric motor and gas motor to move. Big difference. The gasoline motor of volt does not directly power the wheels. It's role is to produce electricity.
Trevor I'm completely sure you just described a Prius. Which is a hybrid
It's always powered by electric, the gas is just used to power a generator to create more electricity
There's that funny commercial where the guy in the volt pulls into that drive thru and the stranger and the drive thru clerk argue if its all electric or gasoline. It's hilarious!!
Both electric and gasoline.
The volt isnt a hybrid, is it? Though it eas pure Electric.
