[JL Rockies]

The first one in UT arrived today at Jerry Seiner Chevrolet. That is all.

I can't remember does this one have a gas engine in it?

 

[JL Rockies]

Yes it does.

I guess putting some fuel in isn't nearly as exciting as Nissan's alternative.

uh no it's not... ?

They're all expensive, as would be expected for the first generation of practical alternative energy cars. Electric cars will be awesome when new technology allows them to enter the performance market.

The problem I have with electrics is, I can carry fuel much easier than I can carry spare batteries. I agree that they will be awesome for commuting and highway travel.

Yep, uggggly! It looks like a Pontiac minivan that bred with a ford fiesta. I stand by my original statement...

but then you'd be driving a VW and that's just not cool.

When Gm first announced the Volt. I planned on buying one. Then they were two years later than first announced. And forty grand to boot. So we bought a VW Jetta TDI. Hell I love the thing. It gets 40 miles per gallon on the highway and screams like a raped ape when you stomp on it. I just don't have a problem with driving a VW.
Someday I might own a Volt. I think the time is right for electric cars. I just couldn't wait that long as my wife's car was about to die. And the price was out of my range. I'd sure like to test drive one though.

From the guy with the KJ.

A turbo diesel KJ... not a VW. I'm still boycotting Germany... your level of patriotism may vary.

I got a VW Diesel made in the Good Ol' U S of Mexico.

I have a VW TDI also made in Mexico. One of the best vehicles I have ever owned. I have a couple of great US-made vehicles also, but I'm a capitalist at heart. Buying inferior stuff is not my idea of patriotism.
