The Chevy Volt is probably a fine vehicle, at least GM says it is.

I'm not in the market for one for several reasons, not the least of which is the $40,000 price tag. A guy named Eric Bolling, a Fox News reporter, made a few comments (six minutes worth) about the Volt.

I didn't hear what he said and I wasn't even aware of his critique. Anyway, it gave rise to an e-mail that traveled far and wide. Ed Wallace addressed the situation yesterday in his newspaper column.

I found it interesting.

If I happened to find forty thousand bucks I didn't know I had (?) I wouldn't buy a Volt. I probably wouldn't even buy a new car. I would probably try to sniff out a '48 Continental or a '58 Chrysler 300 hard top.
