The Cadillac Converj was one of the cars that drew me to the Washington Auto Show earlier in the year. Unfortunately, it did not make an appearance even though the Volt and Tesla and Karma did. It seems like GM is betting their future on their Volt platform... and for once I think they might be actually doing the right thing. It's actually modular, so if/when say fuel cells become affordable (ha), they can just yank out the 4 banger and put one in there. If new battery technology comes through, just replace the battery pack. Actually, the engineering concept is pretty practical and sensible. Never thought I'd use those words to describe GM :)~ Of course, execution is another story. So far, GM seems to be on the ball with the Volt. For some reason though, the Obama people seems to hate GM just because. I mean, they finally have something good and you want to be anal about meager things like financial feasibility? Okay, maybe they should be. But somehow I don't remember the same treatment given to the boys in the financial sector. Just saying. If I had to pick between giving my tax money to car makers or bankers...
Btw, what's up with Obama tapping all these RIAA lawyers for government positions? This is NOT the change I voted for... oh well, politicians
