I haven't watched the movie, from what I have heard about it was that it was a documentary with an agenda. If I heard it was more of an unbiased documentary that was talking about the history of the hybrid/electric vehicles I would have watched it.

The reason I mentioned the line price is because it figures in to the total cost that GM already lost on the experiment. They produced about 800 cars at a price of about $1B (around $1.25M per car). They were already way in the red on that program and having to supply parts would have made an already huge crater even larger. Since they were leased vehicles, it was actually cheaper to get the cars back and destroy them than to support them and build that infrastructure.

Incidentally, the Aztecs weren't just leased, those vehicles were purchased so they couldn't legally take them back. I agree with you, they were hideously ugly and I have no clue how they ever left the design team that way.

I thought the original Volt design was awesome and was looking forward to seeing them live. Sadly, things almost always change between prototype to production. I miss some of the prototype features on the Camaro that didn't make it to production. There are reasons things change, even if we (the consumers) don't like them or agree with them. For what it is worth, I do have a 2010 Camaro.
