Looks like no one has looked at this shiny new SUV in quite sometime.
It seems some folks are not struggling too bad in the housing market these days...if you're an arachnid! Yes, GM is in a slump...and it's bad, but that's why we are all here...why I'm writing this blog everyday. To make a change. To dust off the webs and start the restoration of America's automotive industry.
Look at this and you've got eight more reasons why, GM needs to start moving mounting inventories. In the meantime, are they working on anything new and fresh? Maybe the Chevy Volt?
I don't think so. Americans are not ready for 40 mile (before you have to recharge it) plug-in cars. Most of us devour more juice with our iPods, Tom Toms, and Blackberries than this concept car could muster on a short commute. 40 miles?!? Are you kidding me? Am I for all this new technology? Sure. But it needs to work, be reliable and not cost you an arm and a leg to operate. Can you see the headlines:
"Utility bills skyrocket to record levels as people flock to buy electric cars!"
"People turn to $6.00 a gallon unleaded gasoline to heat their homes!"
"Environmentalists scream increased electricity consumption will result in catastrophic polarity shift plunging Earth nearer to the sun!"
"Top research scientists suggest installing shag carpets in electric cars and issuing fuzzy slippers!"
No, we need REAL solutions...and we need them now. I think this is a result of a lack of vision on the part of leadership over at the Big Three. You know those guys whose names all start with CEO? Or perhaps it's just years of corporate greed and lousy customer service adding up. Either way, I don't care if your new fandangled car is powered by dirty socks - if it's boring, unreliable, and poorly assembled, it's not going to sell!
Hmmmmm. Charlotte? Is that you? Where's Wilbur?
