Will it be able to pass anything on the highway? The Volt is the future. Hopefully, GM survives long enough for Volt to become reality. Chrysler should just put up the white flag because it's over. 4 cylinder engine for a car that big? Will it be able to pass anything on the highway? The Volt is the future.

Regardless of all the politics and collateral damage of car manufacturers going bankrupt or "restarting", I think there's a decent future ahead for Ford, GM, and perhaps Chrysler. There's a lot of progressive thinking (and a lot of non-progressive thinking) going on and I think we're going to see better cars that aren't just haphazard exercises in car design. The fact that they're designing cars with global teams versus a few pencil pushers will help tremendously. Some cars designed with this type of mentality are the new Camaro, Ford Taurus, Jeep Grand Cherokee amongst others. In advance of anyone asking: no, I don't drive a domestic car. But I sure as hell would buy one if they were up to par with what I've grown accustomed to with European rides (sans reliability).

I have zero respect for them as businesses. They refused to innovate for a lot of years, and just rode the same technology for as much money as they could. In business if you're not innovating, you're dying and that's exactly where GM, Ford, and Chyrsler now find themselves. At this point I really don't care what domestic care companies do.
