General Motors to Abandon Internal Combustion Engines

New GM logo is associated to cool - as a Prius is associated with cool.

No one wants to be associated with a Prius. Screams beta soy bitch, both up and down.

Looks like GM bailout 2.0 is coming soon.

ALl to limit personal travel. It has nothing to do with being green. In fact, it is the least green option available. Feeding horses and having them shit all over the place is more green than an electric car.

All about control and nothing else. Control on range. And eventually control on usage of travel altogether.

You do not know what you are talking about. How long do you think those extremely toxic, wasteful lithium battery banks put into electric cars last?

Do some research before making ridiculous claims.

Dodge isn’t doing this.
They will corner the gas powered market.
Oh and Fords blow.

Not sure I buy this line, Mr. Hubbert. The oil was supposed to be gone a long time ago, and it's still flowing.

The easy oil, the gushers, the Texas Tea, well, sure, we plucked the low-hanging fruit first. They don't drill in the Gulf of Mexico because it's fun. Much less the North Atlantic or Alaska's North Slope. But that's where the biggest payday was.

There’s a lot of idiots out there, man.

I will keep my Red Barchetta garaged and take it out for a spin when my nephew visits.

only way to stop fossil fuel use is to make it so xpensive that it will be beyong most peoples means obama threatened it but did not do it reelection an all think these gys dedicated an will give us that $10 a gallon that these libs want so bad .

at least these limousine liberals like pelosi

10 years tops.

Then the whole grid goes away.

My local State run utility was wonderful for years until the Obama years and almost bankrupted my State with the now failed 1st Nuclear plant in over 30 years. My State has closed many coal plants in just the last 5 years. The long term plan was Nuclear so the coal plants closed and now no nuclear so the new plan is solar / battery, Natural gas ( if our state can get the needed gas pipe line run ) and buying power from the out of State grid.

As I see it adding 220v charging in every garage across our state will be a nightmare. The grid will never handle the load and what will our power bill be if everyone is charging cars at night?

I liked my under $2 gas, and my at one time inexpensive electric from coal... Thanks Obama and now Joe...

I would love a commuter electric vehicle especially if I could plug my house into its battery bank.

But you also need an internal combustion engine for serious transportation, cross-country and sub zero temps.

Yep, some women designed that logo!

I got a used 2006 prius last year with only 100k on it. It's great! I spend 25 to 30 on gas for the whole month!

homo motors - no caps intentional.

They can't figure themselves out, underscore one letter, but leave out the other. Gradient colors. That's a winner.

Like a Prius, err prius. beep beep.

Some of us did that when GM screwed their stock and bondholder with the last Obama bailout. I still own classic Chevys, but you won't find a new GM vehicle in this driveway.

I worked on GM grounds, busing on their internal commuting system from building to building. I recall one gentlemen on the phone with his broker, ordering 1000 shares of GM. I asked him afterwards if that was wise.

I recall standing and watching within GM, Rick Wagner giving his speech to tens of thousands of employees. I told my co-workers, we'll be bankrupt within six months. I was wrong, it was nine months later.

It's not hard to position yourself ahead of the nonsense. Timing is always the bitch.
