As of September 14, GM will accept returned vehicles within 60 days of purchase, with no strings attached. Try it after you buy it; if you're not satisfied, bring it back. GM is confident in its offer, which is modeled upon a similar offer by a European subsidiary. The initial program will expire on November 30, 2009.{http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/gm-60-day-satisfaction-guarantee-the-fine-print/],[1]

Chevrolet ("Chevy") was named after Swiss-born race-car driver, Louis Chevrolet, who founded the company with William C. Durant, also founder of General Motors (GM). Durant had hired Chevrolet to drive for his Buick Motor Company, prior to founding GM. Following Durant's ouster from the management of GM, in 1910, the partners formed the Chevrolet Motor Car Company in 1911. However, due to irreconcilable differences, Chevrolet sold his interest to Durant in 1915.

The profitable Chevrolet company allowed Durant to purchase enough shares to regain control of GM and its presidency, where he remained until 1920. In 1917, he brought Chevrolet into the GM fold.

There are conflicting stories about the source of the Chevrolet "bowtie" logo, adopted in 1913. However, the most compelling case appears to be that Durant copied the logo from a Coalettes' coal-company ad.[1]

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ERRA). Included in the act is a provision that would provide tax credits to the first 200,000 buyers of hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) per manufacturer.

"Toyota, by dint of its sales lead in the hybrid segment, had used up all of its credits by the end of 2007; Honda's disappeared on Jan. 1; Ford's start dropping at the end of March. GM and Nissan still have full credits available for qualifying models, according to the Department of Energy." The credits start at $2,500 and increase by $417 for every kilowatt hour of battery capacity in excess of four kwh. For most passenger vehicles, weighing 10,000 pounds or less, the credit tops out at $7,500.[1]

The Volt is rated at 16kWh, which equates to $7,500: $2,500 + $5,000 ($417 x 12 excess kwh = $5,004).

The most recent estimate places the MSRP of the Volt at $40,000, with the $7,500 federal tax rebate available after that price. [2]
