I feel the missing market right now is the medium duty truck line. GM when they shut down Flint in another way is crippling small business. Currently there is only 1 real medium duty line, that is Ford and you have to be a Ford guy to want one. There are a few foreign makers that are attempting to add a medium duty, ie: Hino, Peterbuilt and Kenworth, but the latter are semis with lighter suspension, not a lighter price tag.

Many of us that use trucks for a living are at the point where they are needing to be relaced (the life cycle of most commercial truck is 3-5 years) and it has been since the 2009 model year that GM has ended it's run. (There were a few 2010's made but it ended early)

Lets only hope, someone at GM that is running things now will see the opportunity and un-moth ball Flint!

Unless anyone wants to join me and start up a company to build them, All we need is a BUNCH of money, I can find the place/people and parts...

LOL. where is the proof?

BTW I am a UAW hater, a few on this thread know this. I drive a Toyota Tundra and a Mercedes Benz

GM sold me junk for years, so don't think I a defending them. Bottom line is we WILL run out of oil. I think it is great that GM is TRYING and overall the concept of this car is the BEST one out there.

If your commute is 30 miles, you can plug a volt in or any electric car

If you want to go on long trips you need a hybrid or a volt, electric car is out.

I appaud them for the IDEA, not saying it is perfect, but what car is?

I am concerened of oil use because we will have nothing to run our boats on when its gone, and I hate blow boats! If we can convert common folk cars to electric, we get 30 more years of boating! Demand goes down on fuel, prices go down......win win

With less then 10k i spent on my Z06 there isn't a very long list that can smoke my "POS".

Oil ??? Lame reason ,We have Trillions of Barrels of it !!!!!!!! Just not the will to get it .

According to multiple GM executives there is little or no profit being made on each Volt built at a present cost of around $40,000. Furthermore, the $700 million (tax payer money ) of development that went into the car has to be recouped. do not forget, the $50 billion bailout of General Motors (GM).


The report by the NY Times that it would take up to 27 years for Chevy Volt buyers to save enough money in gas costs to make up for the high price of the car must be very confusing for apologists of the vehicle ALSO I don't see where they factored in battery replacement...average life is...10 years? (or something like that). The last figure I heard for replacement of a Volt battery was $19,000, plus labor .

This one was mine, I had the correct trim,emblems and front end brought in from Australia for it, I couldnt stand the Pontiac stuff they slapped on it..

2004 GTO
75shot and sticky tires otherwise stock down to paper airfilter ran a best of 12.002@112
Everyone that rode in it couldnt believe the fit,finish and quality of materials compared to the stuff they give us here.

PhotoShopped I think- the back doors don't line up right. If not it was a styling exercise- of the new Impala.

The date in the photo says 3/7/2009 I think. Where did the photo come from?

Until the doors fall off

Aussies use them just like we use pickups, to tow and carry, just go on any aussie holden or ford ute forum,,
there is even a one ton version (the Tonner)

Haven't run a Nissan GTR yet have you? Those shocked me..

Personally I wish Ford would import versions of their FPV line from Austrailia, they have some brutal kick ass sedans that make the Taurus Sho look like an epic fail. Or f' it, they need to stick the Ecoboost 6 into the Fusion with a manual trans, that would sell like hot cakes and would have been a real "Sho" not the bloated whale the Taurus is now.
