All three major U.S. automakers have significant new products, even Chrysler. But the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, handsome though it is, and the redesigned Ford Explorer -- the most thoroughly revamped in its history -- will not recapture their glory days. The center of gravity has shifted in the direction of new entries like the Ford Fiesta and the redesigned Focus, the European-built Buick Regal, the Chevy Cruze, and (although you're sick of hearing about it) the Chevy Volt.

I don't ask for blind praise of the Mopar products, but what does it take Chrysler for you guys to provide at least some information about them?
Kingsman42sc Commented on 17/09/10 at: 6:48 PM With a 40 mile battery range before the gas engine kicks in the Volt is primarily for short daily commutes to work, not a long-range vehicle if you wish battery only operation. As a commuter car you won't use the gas engine and will save on engine tune-ups, oil changes, etc. It might be worth $41,000 to some but even with using no gasoline it would take a long time to recoup the extra cost of the Volt over a gas-only or hybrid Toyota or Honda. Thanks GM though for finally getting on board with electric cars, thanks to taxpayer bailout.
gybognarjr Commented on 17/09/10 at: 2:11 PM Yes we are sick of hearing about it the lousy Government Motors Chevy Volt, and making a thousand of them is a waste of taxpayer's money, just like keeping GM operating.  We need progressive, independent, private, new manufacturer's not corrupt and lazy GM and UAW.
