While You Were Sleeping: No Holden Volt, Super Troopers 2, and Meeke Gets a Win

@pdl2dmtl, The pricing of these vehicles varies widely. It comes down to how much in handouts is offered to the consumer. If little is given, little will sell. I do believe here in Australia handouts for EVs and Hybrids isn't as extensive as in many other OECD economies. This is good. As this gives a real indication on the desirability of this vehicle. It isn't wanted and those that do want one will only buy if they can get them with a handout. Handouts is bad for a nation as the money could of been better spent than giving money to a person who already can afford to own and operate a vehicle. Silly, isn't giving money to a person who has enough to buy a new vehicle.

You would think they would have designed this car with right or left hand drive at the outset, especially since there was an Opel model that was to be sold in Europe. The self handicapping that GM does is mind boggling. GM engineering has done some brilliant work in upgrading the power train on the Volt, bringing it up to a purported 50 miles on a charge, yet they'll limit its availability to buyers by refusing to do what is a fairly simple conversion for a company with the sort of means they have at their disposal. I've always maintained that GM never intended to build the Volt, but when bailout time came they used it as a way of convincing the government that they were worth saving and had lots of new products that fit with the green image of the then new administration. Just about the time I'm beginning to think my assessment was wrong they do something to show that despite some good engineering, it wasn't thought through on the executive and marketing levels very well at all.
