Is this company in trouble?If the things I've read about shoddy workmanship and poor-quality parts, this doesn't surprise me. |

1. Crappy workmanship. 2. Even if done well, urban car, only. Limited market, especially in the U.S. |

From the standpoint of how many Americans drive, cost and build quality, I've always thought this was the better auto than the Tesla 3. http://www.chevrolet.com/electric/volt-plug-in-hybrid No matter who builds it, this kind of hybrid delivers the range needed by most people. |

I would consider a plug-in hybrid if it weren't prohibitively expensive to get power into my basement garage. |

I went up and built a LT Volt without very many bells and whistles. If the Federal Tax Credit still holds, I could buy that car for somewhere in the mid-20's. The warranty on the batteries and electric drivetrain is 8 years/ 100,000 miles. |
