Telling It Like It Is

Consumer Reports made their reputation on honest and objective evaluation of products. They don't take advertising in their publications or on their website and they would lose credibility quickly if found guilty of sugar coating a review. So, we get this:

Volt Makes No Sense

Particularly note-worthy was the lemming-like tendency of the enviro-true-believers to want what ever is deemed green at the moment. So, we've got this little toad of a car which is tethered to a wall socket and costs as much as a very well-equipped top end sedan by several manufacturers that is subsidized by the Greenmeister in Chief to make it less non-competitive, then the dealer tacks a $5,000 premium above sticker on the thing because the Birkenstock crowd wants it so badly.
