Consumer Reports Recommends the Chevy Volt

The Stranger's J. Golub comments on an unusually positive (for Consumer Reports) review of the Chevy Volt by Consumer Reports. As often is the case, the comments section is more valuable than the article itself!

I'm rather skeptical of the environmental bona fides of hybrid cars. Liquid fuels are intrinsically more efficient at storing and transporting energy. The Volt's design takes advantage of the best batteries and gasoline can offer: the former short range efficiency, the latter energy density.
