Thumbs down GM did not learn from the Saturn experience

When Saturn was being developed, it was to be GM's answer to all its problem, not only it would compete with the Japs but it would "teach" GM how to make cars more efficiently and with higher quality and this would be used in all other divisions. Well I don't need to recount how they royally screwed this up just like they have screwed up everything else they've done. Now the VOlt is the new Messiah, pleeeze, why on earth would any rational being put down $40k for an unproven,questionable experimental machine when you have other fuel-sipping hybrids available with proven technology at approx half the cost? I suppose they'll be a few treehuggers with $ to spare who might go for it, (look at the Smart) But it wont do anything to take GM out of this mess.http://forum.ecomodder.com/images/icons/icon13.gif
