Honestly I'm rather impressed with many of the Big 3s new models. Had an opportunity to rent and put almost 1000 miles on a Chrysler Town & Country, not something I was overtly excited about. I have...

Been there a long time already...Bonds. Interestingly enough other countries are so impressed with the relative stability of the good ole USA that they now give us their money without expecting ANY...
As to the "plenty of hyperbole" comment. I chose examples that benefited tremendously from government supported industries. As stated subsequently, there were private/government partnerships wherein...
Alright. This discussion is about the fact that the Government bailed out GM, no?
So, people may WISH for free market capitalism but rarely does it exist. Our government provides services from...
Yes Minnow, my comments involved plenty of hyperbole. More specifically I was thinking of rural electrification (TVA, BPA etc) and the road/interstate network. The ventures of Goodyear and his...
Sorry my friend, grounding this discussion in historically verifiable reality does not constitute an agenda or a promotion of bloated government. If you want to discuss the philosophy of free-market...
Back on subject:
Chevy Volt and corporate twin Opel Ampera just named European Car of the Year by the European Motoring Press. Congratulations GM...and whichever Americans own you!
Chevy Volt...
Yes, I have. If the information available is correct than I agree with you completely. Unfortunately so much of the information is scattered...and thorium is hardly something I would consider myself...
Good Morning Sir! Welcome to Reality.
Sometime look up the story of how building the transcontinental railroad was funded or how the vast majority of our military technology gets developed (I could...
Oh sure.
Well if that were the case we'd be sitting under candle light discussing horses and buggies...via pen and paper delivered by the Pony Express. Of course us folks in the West would...
Now that's the American Spirit!
Yes, I sure do; and I noticed we weren't discussing the safety of that...just the batteries.
So, what are we really worried about, safety or a challenge to the status quo?
We can speculate all...
Yeppers!
Better stick to keeping safe fuels/fluids like gas, oil and CNG in our cars. At least we know THOSE aren't flammable and it's perfectly safe to pump them into our engines at high PSIs all...
I also only buy used . Actually I'm in the market for a used Volvo XC70...that is, right after I get bored with my Passat. I have a Chevy Astro AWD as 2nd vehicle...that thing is a workhorse...my...
Saab and Volvo were niche manufacturers that ultimately couldn't compete. Sorry, but calling them bloated like GM or VAG is wrong by orders of magnitude. I don't know why they got purchased by...
Sweden!!...I was able to stay out of this until you said that!
Volvo and Saab were financially failing until Ford and GM, respectively, purchased them years ago. Ford managed to sell Volvo to the...
For what it's worth he said Camry, not Corolla. Many Camrys, not all, are indeed made in the US.
Just as so many folk's obsession w/ bashing GM. Toyota and GM and every other major automaker pay workers all over the globe to build cars that are sold all over the world. GM is headquartered in the...
The gadgetry and, more specifically safety aspects, make cars notably heavier...thus negating much of the combustion efficiency gains. Which is why driving an economy car from the 80s is a scary...
Wow, GM is starting to make appealing cars and folks are deriding the company? God forbid they could move a product w/out taking a loss on it.
Well maybe GM should go back and focus more on big...
