To make you all jealous...   Message List  
Reply Message #7265 of 9876 |
I am down here in Austin and John calls me up saying, hey you want to do
something special? I said sure. We met at Highland Park Mall and they had a
Chevy Volt there to test drive. They were doing test drives and ride alongs!
hahahaah at the Dallas Auto Show they wouldn't let you within 10 feet and here
they are letting us drive the car! I got video of John driving the car around
their test track they had setup. They let him stop the car and stomp on it when
in sport mode to see it really take off. I'll see about posting the video some
time on YouTube, but it was a cool show and tell. John and I got to talk to the
electronics guys for a while and he was all interested in our opinion since we
are EV drivers. Got lots of good info on the car and nice to see one actually
working.

One thing they did say was that they have not set a price yet. I said I had heard a price. The lady said I'm the VP of marketing and we haven't set it yet....

First, they were very open to conversation but somewhat guarded about viewing the product. They would not raise the hood or state anything but that the battery...

Well, if John's first-hand experience left him impressed, then I'll have to say I'm impressed by proxy. I've been worried that Chevy would mess something up,...
