Talltex: Nader - was most known with the Corvair. Surely you are not saying it was one of the best. It was a terrible car, and I am not even talking about the safety issues. I drove them for a delivery company. They were nothing but trouble. We had four and one of them was in the shop every week. Most all Corvair's were dirty on the rear, because the engine threw oil constantly. The Vega, and the fake diesel GM made joined Corvair to make up the the top trio of lemons in US history.

It Runs in the Family: Volt’s Cousin, Chevy Cruze, Investigated for Fires

I’ve been complaining about the negligible environmental benefits of the Volt, of the federal tax subsidies for the Volt and of the $23,000 difference in sticker price between the Cruze and the Volt.
