No, we have dining rooms. I have no idea what 'dinning' is. I don't own a car so have no need for a garage. I also have a seperate kitchen and dining room. I have no idea what a 'great room' is. I guess that's an American affectation like 'powder room'.(We don't go in for prissy similes; a toilet is a toilet, and a bathroom has a bath in it).
I live alone and thus have no need of more than the two bedrooms I have. I forgot; I also built a small house in my garden for guests.

It's a pity that your socialist country has so limited you.
For example, Krispy Kreme (KKD) said in an SEC filing that it has 1,300 workers without coverage who may be entitled to it under ObamaCare at a potential cost of up to $5 million — before actions it might take "to reduce the number of employees subject to the new requirements."

Limited me to what? On the contrary we don't feel the need for grotesquely gratuitous displays of 'I've got', nor the pressures of trying to keep up with the Jones' latest ride-on lawn mower.
My country has had a conservative government since May 2010. Do try to keep up.

Meh, nothing is perfect. Seems better placement of the battery to give more "cushion" in the event of a crash might fix it.
I've seen first hand, somones Volvo turn into a flaming comet...and noones claiming Volvos are unsafe.
Man cannot make perfection in anything.
If Obama were not subsidizing the Volt by $7,500 per car I wouldn't care if they all blew up.
But any flaw in this turkey reflects back on the government that spawned it.

Better the money going to American products than overseas to the Lbyan rebels or something else IMO.
I like GM, and hope they can make this work, and I have realistic expectations of making perfection. 20 or 2000 years from now , our vehicles will still have a percentage of chance to fail...perfection is simply not attainable in anything.
Golly, You mean they didn't learn anything from the cellphone/laptop industry when they decided to make batteries out of Lithium? Stupid is as stupid does!hmmmm,flashbacks of the Ford Pinto ..
Looks like the Volt is blowing up like Obamas presidency.

Chevy Volt fire explodes into federal investigation of electric car safety
The federal government is now investigating the safety of electric cars, and specifically, lithium-ion batteries, after a Chevy Volt caught fire three weeks after a side-impact crash test.
The wrecked Volt apparently caught fire in the parking lot of NHTSA's crash test facility in Wisconsin a full three weeks after the initial crash test. According to the exclusive Bloomberg story, the fire was large enough to burn vehicles parked in the vicinity of the car.
NHTSA is also apparently probing an incident involving a Volt catching on fire while charging. But the scope is not merely limited to General Motors. Regulators have approached all automakers, including GM, Nissan, and Ford — any that sell or have plans to sell vehicles with lithium-ion batteries — with questions about the batteries' fire risk, four people familiar with the inquiry said to Bloomberg.
We've reached out to NHTSA and GM for comment.

I bet Hollywood will buy thousands of them for stunts. They won't even have to load them with explosives.
Quotable Quotes:
- "Your country [the United States] is the only country with no compassion for those in need."
- "It's sickening that extreme right wing fanatics accuse Eric Holder and the President of wrong doing because they're successful black men."
- "Christmas itself is a socialist holiday where everyone is encouraged to redistribute their wealth."
- "Bill Clinton can commit adultery as long as he supports welfare and entitlements because that makes up for his sins."
Are you telling us that the money is just burning a hole in Obama's pocket and he's going to blow it on something if not the Chevy Volt?
We don't HAVE to do either you know.
