Of course you would. You sell cars for a living. Hence, you have to SPIN everything to make the sale. "last one in stock"..."hurry up it'll be off the lot tomorrow"...etc, etc...
When Volt is discontinued it will cost a fortune to repair. And your neighbors will laugh at your lemon.
Isn't that what people like you were saying 10 years ago about the Prius? Thanks God everybody else is not so ignorant.
The Prius? Great design, superior implementation and outstanding manufacturing coupled with honest marketing and very good safety features. A really great car particularly if you live in the city. I would have bought one but I commute 56 miles per day on desert roads with no stops and no traffic so a Ford Focus (42 mpg) made more sense. Nothing wrong with the Prius. There are so many here in southern California that is might be considered to be the State Car. The Volt had an ingenious concept and innovative design that was ruined by GM in implementation and then poorly manufactured and dishonestly marketed. Its the Edsel of our generation.
Again, I'm still waiting for the design that you wanted them to make. All you have said is what a terrible design it is but haven't pointed out what you would have done differently. And yes, 10 years ago, the same people critisizing the Prius are the ones now critisizing the Volt. In time, they will also be proven wrong.
I attempted to answer this in the other Volt thread. I don't recall there being criticism of the Prius technology and they seemed to sell very well right of the bat. The Prius is a much different concept than the Volt. The Volt would have been far better suited for open-road use if they had produced cars using the original design. The Prius is optimum for urban use due to the regenerative braking etc. Comparison is probably not fair. I was commenting on the Prius because someone else mentioned it.
I agree with 377OHMS , the original concept car is much more appealing to me than what they actually produced both technically and in terms of the cars appearance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_volt#Concept_vehicle
