That must be a fun conversation with the salesman when you get back to the dealership.

$30,000 Volt catches fire and all hell breaks loose.

Says the fire started near the left rear wheel,, IIRC isn't that in the same area where the battery is located?

Ferrari and Lamborghini need to get their acts together. I dont know if its just that the fires get more coverage than cheap cars but damn!! It seems like they burn a lot more than standard cars.

For brand new cars to burn up just like that, I can only imagine the nightmares that all the electronics and other little things must bring to the owners. I guess the good thing is these cars are rarely used as DD, so they can spend more time in repairs.

I heard that this car might of had an after-market exhaust on it from another forum...they are guessing that it was the cause...

Damn it hurts to see an exotic like that
