Chevy & GMC Vans

Tonight watching national news like ABC.The Federal government is given car makers time to make hybrid vehicles louder.It seems they are too quiet so people don't know their coming and therefor creating a safety issue of getting hit. #-o #-o Hey Chevy Volt......pimp my ride.Opps.......recall,recall.

That's retarded. People need to unplug their iPods and use their eyes. I would absolutely love a vehicle that glides down the street.

An equally moronic idea, was inducing IVT transmissions (which don't shift in the traditional sense) to "kick", to give people the "sensation" that there's shifting going on. ](*,)

I saw this reported too. First thing that went through my head was "All the other problems we have in this country are fixed? I guess since you idiots have time to worry about this it must be true!"

awesome, even most non-hybrid compact cars these days make no noise and its weird to me. not so much that i am unaware of them if they are around me but more cause on the rare occasion i am in or driving one i can never tell if it started or not after turning the key. and at intersections it feels like the car has died as it makes no noise nor does it vibrate. i have too bad of knees to ever consider buying a car and i hate getting in and out of them but living in the mountains everyone i know owns a Subaru so its unavoidable sometimes.
