    I have said it before - it is the patents that GM has filed on the Volt that matter , sales of the actual car will be just gravy.

    :D
    I wonder what others are thinking about the Volt, 125 units sold in July.
    Chevy Volt supply rises to 22 days as sales slip

    Will the Chevy Volt survive these products that cost much less?
    - Prius c
    - Prius
    - Prius PHV
    - Prius v
    - 2012 Camry Hybrid
    - Lexus ct
    - Lexus hs
    - And upcoming FORD products

    Do patents on a less efficient means to an end really get you anything?

    Toyota has adopted and developed "lean manufacturing" for decades.
    This kind of GM-approach to a project would never pass on the "keep it simple" item.

    GM isn't spending much advertising the Volt. It's not listed in the Chevy dealer ads in the Sunday papers.

    Remember when GM was bailed out by the government and going green? The media has such a short memory of what was happening during the financial crisis just two years ago. So does GM.

    Right about CNW writing a smear campaign against the Prius. If that is not enough reason to ignore the assholes (and their payers), then I justify my position with their idiotic arguments.
