"Mr. Morano is not a member of Fox news."
So what? It's not as though Cavuto is inviting people with contrary opinions.
"Second, our government IS paying 26% of the ad as we own 26% of GM."
Advertising is a normal part of doing business. They already have caps on executive pay. So wouldn't advertising help sales, pushing the stock up? Would you have it that GM stop _all_ advertising? Don't you think that would be silly?
"Articles have been written stating there is some $250,000.00 subsidy per car."
No, limp, articles have been _repeating_ that there is some $250K subsidy per car. It was immediately obvious that that figure came from amortizing R&D costs and grants over only one year.

"Sixth, you can't compare the early sale of the Prius to that of the Volt."
Of course you can! The Prius was expensive compared to similar cars, and had a slow start.
"The Prius broke the ice on electric/hybrid cars paving the way for all others to follow."
Wrong. The GM EV-1 was introduced in 1996. The Prius was introduced in Japan in 1997, and came to America in 2000.
"Final words are the Volt is too expensive (average buyer family income 0f $175,000.00) […]"
So what's the _median_ income? It doesn't take many millionaires to skew the average.
"[…] impossible to justify in fuel savings, too small, cannot be purchased by over 1/2 of the market (live in apartments/condos with no where to charge), have too short a range on electric and the list goes on. "
You could say the exact same things about the plug-in Prius, yet Toyota thinks there's a market for it. If you're right, then GM _and_ Toyota have to both be wrong.
