Autoblog—nope. Can’t do it. Not allowed. TTAC’s Best and Brightest have forbidden me from flaming AOL’s . . . uh . . . website. So I’ll just point out that the off-camera comments are largely supportive and wonder why AB’s crack team weren’t allowed behind the wheel of GM’s Hail Mary plug-in hybrid. I mean, there are plenty of prototypes plying the highway (at something less than 230 mpg, presumably). Oh, and as our ever-vigilant former Managing Editor Justin Berkowitz points out, who knew the Volt was not a quint-essential conveyance? [NB: Sarcasm Alert] Less prosaically, “That’s going to piss people off.”

Why "*don’t really need A/C," are you saying it doesn't have AC? Doubt the Volt will be priced anywhere near $45K
"How can a tiny company like Tesla make such a fantastic EV car for $49k while years and years of GM development turns out this dud-of-a-ride for $40k?" Does the $49K Tesla actually exist? Funny how the Volt is a dud 2 years before it's released.
