    I'm going to pop open a cold one on the day GM officially announces there will never be a Chevy Volt mass produced for the 'Merican consumer. #laautoshow

    Too bad this can't be a direct-injection 1.4L TD. Then we'd get 260 torques and 65 MPG.

    Oh, and it'd last forever...or until some bonehead put gasoline in it a 15th time. #laautoshow

    It's available in Europe already, with a 2 liter turbodiesel with 150 HP. It's not very economical though, for European standards that is.

    We used to get awesome North American premieres like the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari 599 GTB and the Venturi Fétish.

    This year we get some run of the mill Chevy and a Toyota van. #laautoshow

    It's spelled "Converj" but you pronounce it "Cimarron".

    No, really, this one actually looks very nice. Looks futuristic, and much more serious & less toy-like than other hybrids. #converj

    @TurboBrick [LIGIER]: Does that mean that the new Chevy is pronounced "Vega" even though it's spelled "Volt"?

    In all seriousness, I'm excited for both of these cars. However, the Converj makes much more business sense since the brand and the trimmings can cover the premium in price. The Volt feels like much more of a halo-style car in the Chevy lineup.

    @jark: Fair point -though affluent is one step down from wealthy in my mind-, but I know several Prius owners who are on their first foreign car and would prefer to drive something American, like a Lincoln or a Cadillac. #converj

    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.
