Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California
thecarchik writes "The first two plug-in cars from major manufacturers will go head-to-head on warranties and lease prices: $350 a month for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, $349 for the 2011 Nissan Leaf. Now the choice shifts to other measures, including electric and overall range, as well as the plug-in perks that states like California offer to early adopters to encourage them to opt for electric cars. This is where it gets interesting. While California loves the Nissan Leaf, current regulations deny Chevy Volt buyers two significant perks: a $5,000 rebate, and permission to drive solo in HOV Lanes."
Ftfy.

It was fine enough for me when they stopped giving HOV passes to the hybrids. Now they are going to allow even slower pieces of shit in there to clog up the lanes? Bullshit.

Volt and Leaf are wrong!
1.. Too expensive!
These are NOT the Volkswagan of the Electric Car Era.
Rather, We are in the Obama as Jimmy Carter Era!
Ergo, Obama will be doomed to a One-Term-President as was Jimmy. So, Ifsofacto, why bother with the mighty Volt and Superhuman Leaf!
Barak is just a stupid half nigger .. but that's better than being a full-nelson nigger .. or a Georgia Peanut Farmer Nigger desperately in search of a causaian name.
What makes you think diesel is green? There is 20% more carbon in a galon, so your emissions are not as low as you might think comparing MPG to MPG. Once you take that into account, few diesels are even as good as a corolla (which is almost as good as a Prius).
