@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.
@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
@Franzouse: I think the logical step up for the wealthy Priusers is the Lexus HS250h since it has the same powertrain and is at least as ugly. #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
@Franzouse: I think most Americans (myself included) would prefer to drive something American. I'm hoping the Cadillac ATS/alpha platform rumors come true for that reason. #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.
@LionZoo: GM was a finance company that made cars. That worked pretty good for a while. They're still looking to figure out how to get peole to buys stuff made out of pure will o'wisp. #chevroletvolt

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

This would easily win over many affluent Prius owners. #converj

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