Why you ask?!

Well Bob Lutz came out with a thousands promises with the Volt, hit hurdles with each statement. Car was never meant to be a hybrid, now GM uses their failure (hybrid vs full electric) as an excuse by comparing it other full electric cars and saying "well now you have a gas option just incase you run out of juice, not like the other competition"
I think thats sad, compare it to other hybrids, dont shoot other FULL electric cars range.
Anyways the design is great, sure its a hybri, thats great, just hate the false advertising.
The Volt wasn't all Lutz's fault.
