NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- As General Motors caroms toward either bailout or bankruptcy, it continues working frantically on the product it views as the key to its ultimate resurrection: the Chevy Volt electric car. But the heavily promoted Volt is changing. The futuristic body styling of the original has given way to a more rounded and mundane look in the production version. And the price of the Volt is now estimated at about $48,000.

Let them go. This is a free market system and no one is bailing out the small guy.

I cannot believe the Volt is the best they have to offer and it is still not out for 2010 and at that price.

Either you bring in all new management to reinvent this company or you start over.

MediaCurves.com just conducted a study with 300 viewers of a news clip featuring General Motors' new Chevy Volt. The results showed that 55% of respondents who reported that they were likely to purchase a car in the next year indicated that they would consider the Chevy Volt.

Thanks,
