More Re-Volting News From GM

Seems that the Volt, pitched as General Motors' best hope for salvation, is pretty much locked into an extremely limited range before it needs to be recharged. Which as an irony-disabled GM product development honcho notes, makes it perfect for a commuter who drives 40 miles a day and takes it shopping on weekend.

Which in turn led one auto writer to opine: "Yes, and a Hummer is the perfect vehicle for those who want to practice counterinsurgency tactics tactics on the weekend."
