The more information that comes out about it, the more it's the wrong car, for the wrong price, with the wrong specs. But GM needs it to show that they actually are *trying* to develop more efficient vehicles. And why do they need to do that? To convince the government to bail them out.<br /> </p> There’s a bit of talk that the Chevy Volt is less of a useful production model and more of a stalking horse for a government bailout.

If I were the CEO of one of the big three, I would be looking at relocating all my plants to right-to-work states. Running away from the current business model (unions, pensions, low automation, production limited plants, ect...) is the only way Detriot is EVER going to be profitable again.</p> My question is why would Detriot want to mondernize its existing plants?
