The story is saying how GM is trying to build a car called the Volt that basically runs off of electricity or as they call it a plug in vehicle.  They are so expensive that manufacturers still have not figured out how to produce the vehicles cheaply enough to make on them.  The GM is in debt so far that if they sell this car it will only make them more into debt.  If GM wants bailout then they need to be selling smaller cars like sedans and crossovers.  The auto industry has gone from feast to famine, which means they liked the bigger vehicles and now it’s just all about the smaller cars, because they get better gas mileage.  So if GM wants to continue to sell cars then they need to start going to the smaller cars and not try to be so technological. 

The GM industry should just try and do whatever they can to stay out of debt so they don’t claim bankruptcy.  Then once they are out of debt they could start and try to make the fancy cars.  They really need to look at towards the future.  How long will the vehicle really last?  How productive will it be, could it hurt someone, there are many things to look at.  How much money will it cost people to recharge this vehicle?  People don’t think of these things, they just think of how much money the car is worth and how much they will be making.
