    I like it better than a Volt already. GM seems to be all Hat and no Cows.

    All hat and no Cows? Not heard that one before.

    Check out the Vauxhall Ampira which is the UK version of the Volt. I personally think it looks nicer - more a cross between the Volt and the Honda Insight.

    It may be a western USA, idiom. There are two types of Cowboys, One has cattle he herds, the other just wears a cowboy hat and poses.

    I said it wrong, I should have said "All hat and no cattle."

    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/all_hat_and_no_cattle

    Volvo did not pose, it just made a electric car.

    GM talks about a theoretical electric car it may make someday, but so far it is all posing.

    I first heard that one from Molly Ivins. She used it in reference to W.

    All mouth and no trousers.

    The English one makes less sense I think.
