Yeah, I laughed at the "sales" comment too.
What got my attention was the "unreliable" comment. I haven't really researched EV1s, but as noted above, I recall that the leasees were despondent when their cars were called back.
"EV2"- wouldn't that be nice? GM must have concluded it's a dead end... at least for these times...
P.S. Corvairs are awesome!
