Saw a program on the first electric cars of the 80-90's. GM had a great fix for the batteries and sold the rights to Texaco. The Volt is supposed to fail and the government throws $$ at them for 'clean' developemnet. Think of it as all US taxpayers own a little of GM. I am a GM guy, but Chrysler....wow-the RAM is selling like hotcakes, the Charger is a great 4 door 'muscle car' the Challenger speaks for itself and the new Dart is getting great reviews. All this with the #1 selling minivan, the kick a$$ viper and the beautiful jeep grand cherokee, it's easy to become a Dodge guy
