After what GM did with the Impact, I worry about the Volt. The team at Aerovironment had to butt heads with the GM design guys to save that design from mediocrity, and then GM management eventually trashed it anyway.
Many years ago, GM and Firestone were fined for conspiracy to eliminate the competition of municipal transit systems. They had bought them up, and not shut them down in any obvious way, they just transferred their incompetent executives there to eventually fire themselves.
