Josiah Thomas ClementsJan 08, 2012 Lol I wrote a paper on gas vs electric cars a week ago. And yes I did mention the volts fire issue lol
Cian RulesJan 08, 2012 Can i just say toyota are crap and SAAB gm are killers
Shane HeidJan 08, 2012 Thank you Clayton, your absolutely right. And its not our taxes paying for it. It's gm they paid the gov. Back plus interest already
Pouv KhathJan 08, 2012 Accident cause by drivers themselves.
Philip WeynandJan 08, 2012 Uh, what head start? Haven't seen the diesel Jettas on the road? And to the Toyota comment. GM didn't try to cover up their issue here, instead address it and come up with a solution, while Toyota waited for numerous recalls and wrecks.
Cody AndreeJan 08, 2012 The cafe is getting raised to 54mpg?
Chris DimattiaJan 08, 2012 Have to bring in diesels for that mileage. Diesel cruze is coming. Wonder why GM gets a head start? I remember when Acura was close to making a diesel for US. 1/2 ton truck diesels are good news. Stupid hybrids will die off.
Chris DimattiaJan 08, 2012 Where is all the hype in the media about this and our tax money paying for this POS?Car comps don't want to make electric cars bc nobody wants them!! And they lose $$. Obama raises the CAFE to 54.5mpg! Super light cars=more deaths.
Chris DimattiaJan 08, 2012 Love how the govt went after Toyota for the gas pedals. Forced them to pay $48M in fines for a problem that was proven by NASA to be false. Wonder where that $ went? GM? Obama trying to ruin the #1 car company. Classy
Boyd BoudreauxJan 09, 2012 Absolutely junk, waste of tax payer money, yes we pay for r&d on this crap. But a small diesel that gets 40 mpg in there and be done. Face the facts electric is not the way to go, over priced and proving not reliable. Can't name any electric vehicles that don't have high maintenance cost and reliability issues
Alan TanJan 08, 2012 best looking electric sedan.... too bad dont have them in my country...
Patrick JosephJan 08, 2012 If that's pretty. Gordon brown is a supermodel. I'd rather buy myself a horse than this if I wanted to save on fuel
Josiah Thomas ClementsJan 08, 2012 Wow... No one commented on how it is shaped exactly like a prius... I can't believe what I'm about to say... I would take a Prius over this. I prefer my cars not catching on fire.
Mason Christopher ThomasJan 08, 2012 This is one of the only hybrids that actually looks like a car
Cian RulesJan 08, 2012 Sry i hve never wanted a prius more then any other car
Dillon DixonJan 08, 2012 I remember how awesome the concept was for this, then, they killed it. It just looks awkward.
Kevin RehbockJan 08, 2012 I would get a Karma, strip out the 4 banger and electric drivetrain, and put a LS7 in it. That's a "hybrid" I would own.
Devin MortensonJan 08, 2012 I love the volts that say volt on the side wish this was one of them
Tyler PetersJan 08, 2012 the CR-Z is freaking ugly! how would you take that over this? This looks like a real car.
Dillon DixonJan 08, 2012 I think this car is extremely ugly, I would take the CR-Z

Patrick JosephJan 09, 2012 If u offered me one of these or a throat cancer. I'd hesitate.
Boyd BoudreauxJan 09, 2012 Sure it dose, better fuel than a Lamborghini, it takes the fuel of the machines to mine the coal, to haul the coal and the workers, to produce the power to charge it to run for 34 miles. Then still have to put gas to go any farther. Power plants still need fossil fuels to run, People!! Batteries have acid, just think how all the things get built and logistics, what do we need. Green my A$$!!
Josh SchmitterJan 09, 2012 I wonder if it takes Premium....
Ahklil SadiqiJan 08, 2012 I believe it's there so when you pull into a parking spot it's closer to the plug
Bobby DeslisJan 08, 2012 I think it's there so the owner doesn't accidentally drive away while it's still charging. if it was in a normal place, it could be forgotten
Shane JansenJan 08, 2012 Is it just me or does that seem like a stupid place to put the charge port?
