I kinda think they would be better off waiting, but they've made plenty of bad decisions before..http://www.reuters.com/article/idUST...2?feedType=RSS

Like selling NBC.

As far as the Electric Fleet, if they can't sell their chargers to anyone else, at least they can sell them to themselves.

I forget, what is a Volt going to cost?

It looks like the price is going to be a little over 40 Grand. I can guaran-damn-tee ya that GE won't be paying anything close to that.

I know I would not pay 40 grand for any car. OK maybe this one, but no others..

No doubt GE will cut a deal, write them off of their taxes, and wind up not getting stung too bad.

So who takes it up the wazoo?

Us stupid taxpayers, who are subsiding both GM for producing this POS and GE for buying it.

You can buy a far better vehicle for far less money. Paint it green, put a smiley face on both doors, and it's still a POS.

And we'll still be picking up the tab for absolute stupidity.

QFT.

We have a winner here. Give this man a Teddy Bear!!! In a few short words, Chas sums up the stupidity of of our tax/fiscal policies. Well done, sir.

They should have bought the requiste Ford Taurus IMO. That's just too much (even with the discount) for a fleet car.
