    Damn, but that battery is going to make it much easier to put 1.21 gigawatts of subwoofers in there! #converj

    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.

    Seems like a good move.
    This would easily win over many affluent Prius owners. #converj

    @Franzouse: Good point. If GM makes any effort to market this correctly, it could be a huge win for them (and maybe, just maybe, it will poop Segways). #converj

    @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.

    The real trick would have been to drive it through Memphis and see if it'll recharge before the rims get stolen.

    That depends on the quantity of aftermarket aero parts available.

    Too bad they hinted at the road geographically instead of referring to the mythical creature.
