4. RE: RE-VOLTING
Edited on Mon Aug-02-10 09:51 PM by Coastal Skies
As a Newbie at this forum I'll try to be gentle..

While I am in full agreement on both freedom from fossil fuel and buying American.

There is something about a close to $42,000 base price tag for a vehicle that's electric mode is limited to 40 miles. Then there is the fact that it is a General Motors Car. Ok, let's let the past stay in the past. I'm not spending 40+ grand for a prototype vehicle that I'm not sure if the company's going to be in business a year or two from now. Then of course another question that comes to bear, is just how is the electricity generated that charges the batteries when ever the vehicle is not moving or on house power which I believe is the correct term. I expect General Motors to be capable of producing a competitive vehicle at a competitive price and not a dressed up golf cart at the price of a Lincoln Town Car!!

They didn't go bankrupt by accident....

BTW, Who in this economy has $45,000 to help G.M. fatten up the excecs?? Not me.. This is a horrible time to release such an expensive vehicle on an already burdened consumer.

Respectfully,
Coastal Skies
