Audi Chief Calls Chevy Volt “A Car For Idiots”
Bring on the war of words. In a frank conversation with MSN writer Lawrence Ulrich, Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen has said that the Chevy Volt will fail and that anybody who buys the car is an idiot. Not only that, de Nysschen has lumped proponents of any type of electric car into a category of “intellectual elite who want to show what enlightened souls they are.”

His preference for diesels over electric and plug-in cars is based on his following conclusions:
- A wholesale shift from gas to electric cars in the US would result in a net increase in carbon dioxide emissions due to the fact that about 70% of American electricity currently comes from coal plants.
- Recent advances in diesel technology have resulted in very high mileage cars with extremely low emissions.
- Diesels already have the infrastructure needed to provide a fuel supply. Electric cars need to have infrastructure built and completely upgraded.

In separate jets, of course. God forbid they should have to ride together! WTF IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE??????reply
