The Chevy Volt Will Save GM (And Get The Girl)

These are dark days for General Motors, which is wallowing in the mire of the global economic implosion. Shares recently hit their lowest price since 1951,reserves are running on emptyand there's no guarantee a merger with Chrysleror a government bailoutwill save the day. GM's only ray of light is the Chevrolet Volt, its all-inbet on the golden retriever going in for the injured point guard with five minutes left to play, the home team down by 15 and all of Motor City's cheerleaders out waxing their bikini lines. The odds are good the gamble will pay off. The world's largest automaker is expected on Friday to announce billions of dollars in third-quarter losses, and all but stands on the brink of bankruptcy. The revolutuonary Volt is without question its best chance for survival. It isn't just a 100-mpg electric car, it is GM's declaration that it will no longer play it safe cranking out uninspired and irrelevant cars. GM wants to seize the green mantle from Toyota and prove Japan doesn't have a stranglehold on innovation. "We've had a gradual cultural revolution here at GM," Bob Lutz, vice chairman of product development and the guy cracking the whip to get the Volt in showrooms by the end of 2010, recently told us. "The Volt is a very good sign for the company. It shows a willingness to take great risks." It would be easy to dismiss Maximum Bob's comments as more hyperbole from a guy who knows how to give good quote. But the Volt isa great risk. It's also the vehicle most likely to generate the momentum GM needs to carry it through these bleak economic times. The Volt is no johnny-come-lately following the path blazed by the first-gen Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius. It?s a technological step forward. The Prius, like the Honda Civic and forthcoming Honda Insight, is a parallel hybridthat uses both an electric motor and a gasoline engine to drive the wheels. The Volt, on the other hand, is a series hybrid. Like the Prius, it's got an electric motor and a four-cylinder gasoline engine, but the engine merely charges the 16 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery as it approaches depletion. Electricity alone turns the wheels. The Volt is designed to travel 40 miles on a single charge, meaning most drivers will never burn a drop of gasoline. GM is still butting heads with the Environmental Protection Agency over the Volt's official fuel economy rating, but GM execs tell us the Volt is good for 100 mpg or more. That's enough to put the fear of God into the oil companies. Everything about the Volt is designed to maximize fuel economy, from its sleek grille to the windswept mirrors to the spoiler on the hatchback. GM's designers spent more than 1,000 hours in the wind tunnel, and they say the Volt is more aerodynamic than the Prius or the Civic Hybrid. "We spent three times longer on this car than any other car [in GM?s history]," Nina Tortosa, the engineer who oversaw wind tunnel testing, told usshortly before the car was unveiled in September. "It will be one of the most aerodynamic cars out there." The result is a car that makes the Prius look about as exciting as Grandma's muu-muu. GM went to about as much trouble with the interior. Sitting in the Volt is sitting in an iPod. Swathed in shiny white plastic, the dash features touch sensitive controls and customizable LCD screens. The Volt is making a statement. Hybrids are no longer about saving gas or going green. Suddenly they have style. That style won't come cheap. The Volt's price has climbed steadily since it was unveiled almost two years ago at the Detroit auto show, and GM will be lucky to keep it under $40,000. The car will qualify for a $7,500 tax credit, but it'll still cost several thousand more than a Prius and almost twice what the next-gen Insightis expected to go for. GM doesn't think that will be a problem. "This isn't going to be a budget vehicle," Bob Boniface, the Volt's lead designer, recently told BusinessWeek , "and this helped us win some important arguments. Take a look at your iPhone. That's the kind of finishing that distinguishes a product." Boniface's point is the Volt, like the iPhone, will be a killer app, a must-have product. He may be right. More than 34,000 people in 60 countries and all 50 states have signed an unofficial waiting listto buy one. All of this depends, of course, on the technology behind the car actually working. GM is literally making this stuff up as it goes, and it remains to be seen whether the batteries will deliver on their range and endure the rigors of life on the road. But make no mistake - General Motors is throwing everything it has at the Volt and sparing no expense to put it in showrooms by the end of 2010. Every industry analyst and EV advocate we've talked to says GM will almost certainly meet that deadline. GM is so confident that it'll have the technology sorted out that Jon Lauckner, VP of global development, tells us, "some of us are thinking about the follow-up vehicle." Critics argue, correctly, that GM will lose money on the Volt -- Lutz has said so, and GM is OK with that-- and they note that with initial production volume in the tens of thousands, the Volt will be a niche vehicle along the lines of the Chevrolet Corvette. That prompted Alex Taylor III of Fortunemagazine to say, "the Volt is about as relevant to the survival of GM ... as Paris Hilton is to the future of Western civilization." Taylor miss the point entirely. This isn't about sales volume. It's about creating a signature vehicle that will define GM's image, prove that Detroit can innovate and convince consumers to give GM a fresh look. For those reasons and more, the Volt is not only relevant to GM's survival, it is essential. See Also: The Volt Isn't a Prius. It Might Even Be Better.

Oliver Burkeman's Campaign Diary: The top 25 moments of the election campaign, part one

In an election campaign this long, and this filled with memorable moments, strange things begin to happen to memory and one's sense of time: it feels like years ago now that Barack Obama, somewhat stunned, approached the podium to celebrate victory in the Iowa caucuses, and more than three weeks since Joe the Plumber ambled into our lives. Who even remembers the antics of the Republican primary debates, or the furore over Hillary Clinton's gas tax holiday proposal? To jog your memory, and to kill some time while we wait for America to vote, here are 25 key moments from the race for the White House. This post contains the first dozen, in chronological order, starting with Obama announcing his candidacy for president in February last year. Part two follows shortly...(Note: these are real-life speeches and spontaneous moments, not ads or made-for-Youtube videos, so you won't find Obama Girl, or Paris Hilton, or Obama's infomercial, etcetera. I made a post more along those lines here.)1. February 10, 2007"I know it's a little chilly, but I'm fired up"Barack Obama announces his candidacy on an icy day in Springfield, Illinois2. April 18, 2007"Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"At a town hall meeting in South Carolina, John McCain makes a joke he would later come to regret3. April 26, 2007Joe Biden on Joe Biden's gaffe problemAt a Democratic primary debate in Orangeburg, South Carolina, the future vice-presidential candidate -- at this point a presidential contender, of course -- delivers a one-word answer to a question about his tendency to ramble4. May 3, 2007"Is there anyone on the stage who does not believe in evolution?"In the first Republican primary debate, at the Reagan Library in California, Senator Sam Brownback, former Governor Mike Huckabee and congressman Tom Tancredo all, rather nervously, raise their hands5. September 21, 2007Rudy Giuliani takes a phone callThe candidate was speaking to the National Rifle Association when his phone rang, but some doubted the spontaneity of this moment of spousal affection6. October 30, 2007"A noun, a verb, and 9/11"Speaking at a debate in Philadelphia, Joe Biden notices a certain recurring tic in the speeches of Rudy Giuliani7. October 30, 2007Drivers' licensesAt the same debate, Hillary Clinton -- under questioning from Tim Russert, whose subsequent death shocked Washington -- gets tangled up on New York governor Eliot Spitzer's policies towards illegal immigrants. Spitzer soon had other things to worry about8. January 3 2008"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high"Obama, sometimes seeming almost as surprised as the audience, delivers a victory speech after the Iowa caucuses9. January 5, 2007"You're likeable enough"In a rare blunder, Obama, debating in New Hampshire, makes himself look mean-spirited, and hands an advantage to Hillary Clinton10. January 7 2008Hillary's tearsA tearful moment at a campaign stop proved crucial in humanising Clinton, and prolonging her bid for the nomination11. February 12, 2008"I felt this thrill going up my leg"The MSNBC host Chris Matthews makes his most memorable, and mockable, remark of the campaign12. March 18, 2008A more perfect unionIn Philadelphia, Obama responds to the Jeremiah Wright affair with a profoundly moving speech on race and the American democratic experimentContinued...US elections 2008Barack ObamaJohn McCainJoe BidenSarah PalinRudy GiulianiMike Huckabeeguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
