> Editor-In-Chief,  Angus MacKenzie, writes in his monthly "The Big Picture"

> column on  page 8 of the August MOTOR TREND about electric cars.   In
regard  to the Chevy Volt he says; "a lot of folks seem mighty  uncomfortable 
 when GM tries [to innovate and experiment]"  adding, "understandably, perhaps, 
given past fiascos like the  Corvair, Vega, and Olds diesel."

Of course, If the Volt shows up on time and performs to the specs, Motor  
Trend will probably make it the "Car of the Year" for 2010, like the Corvair was  
in 1960!  And then, in 2060, the new editor can diss another new  car as 
another one of GM's fiascos - like the Volt! What a bunch of  hypocrites at 
Motor Trend!

Big chunks of the buying public seem to be kind of trend-y too.
