It’s no secret that electric vehicles can be fast. The first EVs from GM, more than a decade ago, were pretty quick. I had the opportunity to drive several electric vehicles in the 1990s, including the EV and even a full electric Ford Ranger.

Earlier this decade Hummers were all the rage.  The original H1 hummers, seen during the gulf war, made there way to the streets in the late 1990s. In fact an old colleague of mine had one. I believe the top speed was about 70 miles per hour, it was extra wide, not much space inside and a huge gas guzzler.  Even with all the negatives clearly visible, for a car (and truck) guy like me it was very cool!  $125K might get you into one at the time, but that was way out of my price range and I clearly had no logical need for one.

It appears that GM is looking to the internet community for suggestions.  Maybe GM is finally on the right track!

Since the beginning of time, or at least the beginning of car time, Manufacturers built cars and the public bought them.  Most of these cars were unique and served a purpose. They were defined and stood out from the competition.  Mercury would have a better interior, more features and a more upscale design than a Ford.  The same would be true for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac. Each was a step up the car buying class system.

For the past few weeks, GM has been plastering the Internet with their advertisement ” 230″. Rumor had it that GM was ready to release information on a soon to be released new vehicle.  The big announcement was to arrive today, August 11th. On my drive in to the office this morning, the announcement was already out on the radio. GM didn’t have a new car to announce, instead they were anxious to announce what “230″ meant. It was the miles per gallons projected for the new Chevy Volt.  I am not sure if this is a true measurement, but I know bigger questions are out there.

Now I like cars and technology, but I just don’t get where the Volt fits in. GM says that most people drive less than 40 miles per day. So they target 40 miles of travel and oh, by the way, here is a gas engine just encase you don’t make it back home.

Thanks to some hard work by Celine and our software provider, we are finally back online and working again.  our software has been upgraded, but it will mostly look and feel like it did in the past.  You will notice some new safety features that will help to reduce unwanted listings.

Some major changes to imotorlist.com are on the way. Thanks again for your patience.
