Anyway, someone really needs to make a compilation of the most epic fails to be posted on Camaro5, including DEI (oh God), the FWD Mustang (remember the snow chains), rinsing the oil out of the engine (oh look, another Mustang), the Highlander Hybrid breaking down and being towed by a GM tow truck at the Nascar race, and now this. We're gonna be rivaling Failblog soon.

Edit: Almost forgot about the police officer busting the guy on those Florida chat boards.

Possibly true but we don't really know what they have been experimenting with that we were never shown. With the battery tech of the 90s a good, long term massed produced electric car was probably not feasable. Heck, look at the production problems Tesla is still having.
What matters now, is the Volt is a go and probably the beginning of something truly outstanding.
Personally, I would love to see a program for drag racing using electric cars. That could get insane.
