But that doesn't stop General Motors and poiitically-motivated cheerleaders for the Chevy Volt from trying. In the case of the Volt, the truth is that ...​

Mark Modica goes on to attack Dan Akerson specifically, and plug in cars in general.

For the newbies at this site, a closer look at Modica reveals that all he does is generate disinformation attacking General Motors. Note the content of all of his recent blog postings:

Mark Modica?

Modica is a lurker at this site, so we should treat him with an appropriate degree of consideration. Thus, when one of you throws him out of the chopper, please have the courtesy to admonish him "Don't hit your head on the skid".

Thank you,

Modica apparently does not allow comments on his blog, which says a lot. What a loathsome and pathetic dweeb.

You can always post something here.... http://nlpc.org/report-corruption

He states on his site....

Report Corruption Here

NLPC has a long history of working with citizens daring to expose corruption. If you have information about fraudulent or questionable activities in or by the government, large corporations, or government contractors, we may be able to help. NLPC has experience exposing corruption in cooperation with the media and law enforcement officials, when appropriate.


So he's about as questionable as they come!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even those who are wrong. It all comes out in the wash.

My mother always used to say "Consider the source". I mean, who really cares what this jerk says? "Stupid is as stupid does." Next case.

Modica's opinion of the Chevrolet Volt reminds me of the early days of the "horseless carriage!" No one thought it would ever catch on, and now here we are, with an average of two or more per household. I think it's sad that he considers the Volt a Dismal Failure. Nothing could be further from the truth. When Toyota brought out the Prius it was poorly accepted in the beginning as well. The Volt is exceptionally well designed and does exactly what it was designed to do: help us enter a new era of eventual freedom from foreign oil dependence, while giving us an electric car that, as far as I'm concerned, more than lives up to its promises. Just because sales have not yet reached initial projections does not mean the Volt is a failure. Many cars in GM's past had low numbers when introduced, including the Corvette, which almost died a quick death but now is an iconic runaway success. Years from now history will prove the Volt a success regardless of the Nay Sayers.

You took the words right out of my mouth with the Corvette example.............60 years and still ticking.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when they spread lies about a so-called 12% of Volt owners have experienced electrical problems, what is that.................that is not an opinion, it's downright garbage!

while I think his article is wrong, and misses all the points, its not nearly as bad as some of the other hack blogs (like Seton Motley).
