Volt debut "fluid", Wagoner says

Gee, I guess GM shouldn't have shot it's mouth off so soon.

 

Since Two-Mode is now running a little, questioning the schedule for Volt was to be expected.

AutoBlog is not what I'd call a news source since they aren't beholden to journalistic precepts. I can see two real flaws in their article. Neither requires an engineering degree. In the first place, the Toyota rep's comment about the Volt being vaporware is not sour grapes. A company that already produces a reliable and successful hybrid car talking trash about a company that only talks about producing one and even doubts its own words is not guilty of sour grapes. That's using a term that doesn't apply. Secondly, of course, at one time, the Prius was a concept. Every product on the market today was a concept at one time. The difference is that Toyota wasn't advertising the Prius years before it was even on the market the way GM is doing with the Volt. The imprecision of that AutoBlog goofball's rhetoric is the main reason why I don't read AutoBlog on a regular basis. Blogs are inherently unreliable sources of information.

 

Wagner calls the some-day-reality of the Volt, "Fluid". Hmm . . . isn't that also GM's definition of 'truth' ?
