Top speed is 35 max, i can't remember the range I think it was 40 miles.



LOL defprun you are talking in millions, that's funny. I'm wondering the last time "millions" was mentioned in congress, they only talk in billions and trillions. That piece of **** prolly cost the taxpayer 80 billion. How much did they give GM here about a year back to make fuel efficient cars? 25 billion i think, so that thing was at least that much.

I was thinking more along the lines of, letting the big 3 tank and giving everyone the stimulous money to go buy something else! Doesnt even have to be a car!

The warranty costs on all that garbage product wouldv'e just sunk 'em anyway..

I think thats half the problem with the big 3 , I'd like to know what their internal costs are for warranty.. I know on my sprinter the back charges to Chrysler from the dealership exceeded 18k.. They didn't make much money on that on, if any at all..

I am suprised Ford is doing as well as it is, the 6.0 litre diesel fiasco was huge..And I hear the the new 6.4 isn't much better..
