| #17 says the U.S. wonÂ’t recover anything from its $4 billion TARP loan. So Anguper are you saying that the taxpayers had done to them what this commercial is implying. |

| #16 Don't be distracted by the dancing girls. Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Chrysler LLC, now known as Old Carco LLC, filed a reorganization plan, giving nothing back to the U.S. for its loans under the Troubled Asset Relief Program while repaying some secured lenders in full. The rough outline of a Chapter 11 plan, filed in Manhattan bankruptcy court today, says the U.S. wonÂ’t recover anything from its $4 billion TARP loan. |

| #15 Well, at least we have some tangible proof of a few jobs "saved or created" by the Porkulus...I counted 23 right there. |

| #14 As for the dancing girls, marketers study who their target audience is. Half of them have an IQ less than 100 Then I must be in the 90% whose IQ is over 100. ;-) |

| #13 BTW, while I think the Volt is a good effort, I believe the battery economics is not here yet to support 40mile electric range. Instead a 4-5Kwh battery (w/ option to double it) would give a range of 10-15 miles (20-30 miles) and would cost around half the Volt's price and would benefit even when the gas engine is running (acting as a hybrid car) and get another 30% mpg boost (50% city). Toyota's Prius PHEV is going to own this market. |

| #12 Cheesy commercial. Not exactly an advertising triumph. |

| #11 The Tesla also costs $110,000. I recently bought a 35mpg Hwy Chevy compact for less than $12K. So no sale. I rather have that and $105K left in the bank (w/ tax). As for the dancing girls, marketers study who their target audience is. Half of them have an IQ less than 100. |

| #10 Just remember who paid for this Crap, El Floppo, Chevy, also called GM for Government Motors. Hell I could build an Electric Vehicle, the engineering dates back before the Gasoline Car. |

| #5 Were they really serious? I've seen 4th grade dance recitals that were better than that. |

| #3 Seems to me a handful of engineers created the Tesla at an insignificant cost, and that the Tesla would hand the Volt its own a$$ hands down in almost every respect. |

| #2 So You Think You Can Dance. Seriously, this looks like standard car show stuff -- only with modestly clad dancing girls (and guy) instead of evening-gowned models. |

| #1 Okay...I had hopes for the Volt but now I want to puke. |
