LOL Al, I knew you'd run away huffing and puffing.

Bottom line is that said "version 1.0 of a brilliant transitional concept" that I worked on turned out to be a real dog. You know, kind of like the Volt.

Of course, we weren't under any political pressure to sell as much as we could. Or market it as "the product America had to build."

In fact, "version 1.0" never really reached the market. It took "version 2.0" before it actually was sold to the general public. Now we're working on "version 5.0," which might finally be the version that makes any sense whatsoever. And even then, it probably wore out its welcome a long time ago. (Fortunately I got out after "version 2.0.")

Does that sound like a project worth defending, much less bailing out? If you say no, then think about that the next time you defend the Volt in its current state.
