The Electric El Camino Is a Reality
Let’s say that you’re a guy who’s cut off his mullet in favor of a cupiehawk and you are fond of the days when the El Camino ruled the road and War’s “Low Rider” was the song of the day. But you also want an electric car and have killer restoration, modification, and do-it-yourself skills.

Chevy Volt’s Price Will Depend on Gasoline
In a truly GM-styled move, the upcoming Volt’s price will be based not on business dynamics, it’s cost versus consumer demand, or anything else remotely market-based or based in sound business principle.
