India has the Euro crash rated Tata Nano a 52 mpg miser for $3000. Zenn Motors from Montreal makes pure electric for not much more than $10K.

GM is still far over priced. GM will be a laggard here in. Rumour has it some Chinese/Japanese efforts might be underway to produce a standardized electric car where to get anything fixed, just go to Walmart. Plug and play standardized assemblies right down to the brakes, steering, all modular.

GM on the other hand, a has been company. 0bama's Marxist farce on the taxpayers.

The New York Times recently reported that there might be a snag as GM prepa= res to sell the Chevy Volt in China.

GM isn't gong to sell the Volt in China, maybe sell 100 if they tried. Far too expensive in the and where a 4x4 SUV can be had under $10k. American pricing isn't going to float.
