The EV-1 generation 2 had a range of about 100 miles per charge on NiMH Batteries. If it had Lithium Ion batteries, it might have been able to do 250 like the Tesla. Edit: I don't know if the EV-1s had regenerative braking or not. This guy test drove and EV-1 gen 2 for 5 days and on the 4th and 5th day he admittedly abused it and still got 83 miles to a charge..... this was in 1999.

Uh. Didn't GM already produce a car with a 40+ mile range in the EV1?

If it's a nice running DI Turbo 4 cylinder.... why not? By that time $3.50 a gallon will seem like a deal.

You kidding? He's the tunnel.

I caught this one grazing near my house a while back....

Pittsburgh is the number 2 city in the world for most bridge..... right after Venice.

actually, I think it's the county hearse used for convicts and john/jane doe edit: it looked entirely unstable as well.... coming out of that lot, I thought it was going to tip backwards.

Must be Nissan built.

Make the Volt technology a trimline in existing vehicles. You can buy a Chevy Malibu... or a Chevy Malibu Volt You can buy a Buick LaCrosse... or a Buick LaCrosse Electra You can buy a Cadillac CTS... or a Cadillac CTS - E You can buy a GMC Yukon... or a GMC Yukon Electromotive You can buy a Saturn Aura... or a Saturn Aura Power-line Sorry, I couldn't come up with one for Pontiac..... but I did most of the heavy lifting here.

Great Vid PCS. They really take it easy on that old Atlantic <the head engine>. She's probably dying to get out and run again... those were 70-90mph engines back in their day and here she is running at 10% throttle. That slantback switcher probably maxes out around 50 though. I've had a lifelong love of steam engines cultivated by growing up along the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad Edit: My Octobers and Novembers are usually filled with trips to the local steam lines. I visit the often and have even gotten to drive the engine in this video. I'm...friendly.... with one of the engineers not shown in the video.Second week of October I can usually be found at the East Broad Top Railroad

Knowing what I already know about the infrastructure in Pennsylvania, I'd rather not know

What if the Trailblazer were replaced with a Chevy version of the Acadia?

While I don't agree with, I at least get your stance on FWD, Transverse engines, B-pillars and manual transmissions..... the one I don't get is your aversion to uni-body. There were a few uni-body cars that I'm sure would suit all the rest of your requirements quite nicely.... so I'm curious if your hatred of uni-body would be directed at them as well. I could totally see you pulling one of these out of a barn somewhere to use as a daily driver, yet they're all unibody.

Delta would/should include Cobalt Sedan Cobalt coupe Cobalt wagon <to replace the HHR> Astra 3-door Astra 4-door Astra Twintop

Grass clippings and yard waste anyone?

I do want to point out that with the Passat, you can option it almost all the way to 40k. If Saturn tried that we'd be hearing things like "Who'd pay 40k for a Saturn?". then again.... who'd pay 40k for a Passat?

Al Qeda is all over it.....

Don't insult New Jersey like that....

Myself, along with FlyBrian, OCN, Pontiac-Custom, and a few others are the smart asses of the site. Flybrian is king smart ass though.

best move.... just walk away. edit: If you still have anger issues after that... take up boxing or paintball

No you won't, you'll pay $15,000 more for it.

I know... I was being a smart ass.
