    They don't want to push the Volt engines too hard just yet. They really aren't sure if the hydrocoptic marselveins on the ambifacient lunar wainshaft can effectively prevent side-fumbling. It's only made of prefamulated amulite, you know.

    @Tanshanomi: You need to do a little Wikipedia fact checking before you hit the share button. It's actually made of postfamulated amulite, which is completely different. #chevroletvolt

    @Flathead Smith: The concept had postfamulated amulite, but to reduce production costs the version you'll be able to buy only has prefamulated amulite. I hate it when they bait-and-switch you like that.

    He made a Facebook post? As an under-30 car guy, I now feel oddly compelled to go shopping for a $40,000 Golf, 'specially that one with the manual transmission for people who can't drive stick. If he bought me a Makers and Coke, he'd pretty much own my soul.

    @CJinSD: Boy, someone really has it out for VW, don't ya?

    From a quality-control standpoint, some VW models are lacking, but their engineering is generally excellent, and they offer some of the most Jalop new cars (affordable station wagon, clean diesel, manual transmissions).

    To be fair, the Germans think anyone who is not German is an idiot. They just normally try to disguise it with mild-sounding words like "liebensraum" and "Herrenvolk".

    @gas_pig70: Why can't American consumers buy any (?) Audi with their start-stop system? Audi, BMW, Smart and many others are rolling out "engine stops at a standstill" and mild regenerative braking across all their cars in Europe, but as far as I know, none of their USA cars have it. Does it not increase MPG in the EPA test, does it hurt emissions, or something else?

    Please, De Nysscen. GM has already established that the Volt is a car for people who like French Bulldogs licking their feet and want "23-Smiley-Face" MPG, whatever that means.

    While I am an unabashed Audi fanman, I agree with the lot of you. If you're going to piss on it, why not give us an option, like a V12TDI RS6 Avant? Or an R42 TDI Golf?
