...it's pathetic when a BAD GM Volt commercial makes you hope for a "...wardrobe malfunction..." so there's something worth watching.

To be fair the first one was not a commercial it was at the car show. Lots of goofy things happen at the trade shows.

Let's be real, though. How many of the first hundred thousand Prius owners do you suppose bought the car because of the commercials? Not many, I suspect. Likewise with the Volt: the initial sales will be to people who buy it for the tech or environmental aspects, not because it's been marketed through a bunch of commercials.

You shouldn't be watching that film over and over again. It's really not worth it.

I didnt make it. Big time GM fail. Nobody likes the Volt dance. My theory behind this horrid number is that it can attract people to their booth at the suto shows, so they can be enticed by the cars there, and when it went global on the internet it gave GM attention. Not always good attention though. This Volt shouldve been left on the ideas board. It soiled the reputation of what has potential to be a good, revolutionary car.
