Would you buy a Chevy Volt? Please explain your answer?
Julius S questioned:
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in run hybrid vehicle by General Motors, with production probable to start in 2010. The company has avoided the use of the term “hybrid,” preferring to call it an gripping vehicle with a “array extender” (“total array gripping vehicle” or EREV), due to its top. This complex, but, is typically referred to as a run hybrid.
The vehicle is designed to run decently on electricity from on-board batteries for up to 40 miles (64 km), or about half the array of GM’s first gripping car, the EV1 — a generous ample interval to take in the day after day commutes of 75% of Americans, which averages around 33 miles (53 km). With the use of a small domestic combustion engine driving a generator to potential the gripping motor, the vehicle’s array is potentially increased to 360 miles (579 km) on the highway (and which can be total for very long trips by conventional refueling). The battery pack will be rejuvenated by the on-board engine and can also be rejuvenated by plugging the car in.
In the United States, the Volt will be eligible for $7,500 tax credit.

New hybrids from two very different car companies?
InterIntel questioned:
Is it right, that Bavarian Motor Facility (BMW) and General Motors (GM) will by all accounts be teaming up to top , sell something to a name and build new hybrid vehicles?

ZoeLouise questioned:
Vauxhall factories may maybe accurate if bail-out discussion with the Regime do not bear fruit, the head of General Motors Europe has told Sky News.
Vauxhall employs 3,300 personnel at the two factories, while hundreds of additional jobs depend on the fate of its 500 UK dealerships.
With the state as it is, is the car industry really inane to carry on this crisis? Will continuous bail outs help in the long term or is the possibility of car production in the UK success a sad end?
