Volt Should Be Named Jolt
There’s good news and bad news coming out of Detroit today. According to MSNBC, the new Chevy Volt will boast an incredible 238 MPG highway. That would mean filling my car once a month instead of once a week.
The bad news is, the Chevy Volt, as it comes off the showroom floor will cost upwards of $40,000 USD.
Now my question is . . .
How is this helping the economy, making us less dependent on foreign oil, and cleaning up the environment when the average person (who can’t afford a Cadillac or Land Rover now) won’t be able to afford one?
The car is smaller than the average car, the engine is smaller than the average engine, so what gives?
Is helping the environment and the economy really a luxury item?
Hey GM . . .
Want to sell cars and get yourself out of the financial rut you’re in? Then make cars more people can afford and be proud to drive!
