In my estimation this is a dumb move on GM's part. The two seater doesn't go far enough on a charge to make it practical for anything but in city use.

I think the Spyder is more along the lines of what needs to be produced for alternative transportation.

Well, that's just my opinion. I guess it's good news for Segway in NH. Maybe there will be some local jobs because of this merger.

Is this where the bailout money went?
Let GM fail, especially with stupid things like this.

I have to disagree this is only a prototype after seeing on good morning America you can do 35 miles at a cost of 35cents and is only for city use and in no way it will look like that upon completion.
America is all about R+D just my 2 cents:2thumbs:

On that little thing, you better ALWAYS look both ways at the intersection ! I bet a Chevy truck can put a pretty good hang time on thet thing when it hits it ! :shocked:

I wouldn't want to get into an accident in one of those things.

Didn't Lamont just have a post the other day about some who couldn't or wouldn't accept the :spyder:because it was new and different and "outside the box" of normal? Why should't this be given the chance to succeed or fail?

:agree: Let them declare bankruptcy, get rid of the unions, and rebuild...they already squandered 17 billion of our dollars...nothing will change as long as there is a union...easy economics...look at cost to build and compare with non-unionized companies...no comparison...

Like a cramped rocking chair with wheels. Not no, but NO THANKS! That would increase road kill signifcantly.

I don't no if their is a need for this item but if they are using bailout money then let them fail. here is another story some might not be aware of Sprint the title sponser for nascar spends 10 million dollars a year to have that right. their contract is for 10 years if my math is correct thats 100 million dollars. a few months back they laid off 8000 employees. Now wouldn't 10 million have kept those people employed? I just don't understand what people are thinking? :banghead:

My disgust for GM aside, I guess I'm nerdier than you guys cuz I would totally rock one of these. Except mine would have spikes on it and shoot flames from the tires.
