Volt is drivers' favorite, topping even Porsche
By Dan Carney
A Chevrolet Volt electric is shown at GM's Flint, Mich., plant. The car is wildly popular among owners.
The Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric car is the most popular among owners, topping a perennial favorite that costs twice as much,?the Porsche 911,?and a recent addition, the Dodge Challenger, according to an annual survey published Thursday by Consumer Reports.
The magazine was?careful to specify that?only the Challenger equipped with the ?That thang got a Hemi innit?? V8 engine was named to the list, and not the girly-man fuel-sipping V6 version.
But I digress.? The Volt is the overall winner of the owner?satisfaction survey, with the announcement coming at a time when the Volt is in the news for a less-good reason: fires in crash-tested vehicles days or weeks after the crash.? Ninety-three percent of owners surveyed said they would buy the Volt again, compared with 91 percent of 911 and Challenger buyers.
The Volt has a starting list price of $41,000, compared with $82,100 for the Porsche and about $30,000 for the Challenger.

The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera is due out in February. The current edition of the car, which came in second in Consumer Reports' annual owner satisfaction survey, sells for $82,000 and up.
Chevy also grabbed the last spot on the list with the Aveo minicar, which would only retain 37 percent of its owners.? The Aveo has since been replaced by the Sonic (see review here), ensuring, at least, that the Aveo will not be last again next year. (See the full list here. Subscription required.)
Volt drivers are happy with their cars for a couple reasons.? Firstly, they are electric vehicle?zealots, and they would be happy with an EZ-Go golf cart as long as it was fully charged.? EV zealotry even tops sports car zealotry, as seen by the Volt?s defeat of the 911, which is popular among sports car zealots despite its high price, useless back seat and thirst for fuel.
?These models reflect a larger trend we?ve seen in recent years: sporty cars and fuel-efficient cars with alternative drivetrains tend to generate more enthusiasm and loyalty than most other types of vehicles,? said Rik Paul, Consumer Reports automotive editor.
The second reason for Volt owners? satisfaction is the dedicated manservant Volt adviser issued by Chevrolet who talks with owners daily about the Volt?s awesomeness.?? ?From the very beginning we?ve tried to provide an extraordinary customer experience to go with the technology,? said GM spokesman Greg Martin.
The combination of engaged owners and continuous discussion between GM and Volt owners has stemmed any rush to the exits even since the reports?of?post-crash-test fires.? For the record, these fires took place days or weeks after extreme crash testing in which the Volt successfully protected occupants and earned the highest possible safety scores.
Following the tests, the cars? batteries were left fully charged, and because the car were also rolled over and because the battery coolant system was damaged in the tests, coolant leaked onto the charged batteries and eventually sparked fires.
The lesson here is to get out of a crashed car within a few days, and be sure to turn off the lights when exiting.? A gasoline car might not be as obliging in providing an opportunity to climb out before combusting.
Despite recent safety concerns about the Chevy Volt's battery, the popularity of electric cars is picking up traction, with CNBC's Phil LeBeau.
In the real world, ?five or six? Volts have been totaled in severe crashes, with no fires resulting, Martin said.
To mollify any potential concerns while GM undertakes its investigation into how best to prevent post-crash fires, the company is offering a free loaner car to Volt owners who prefer to park their electric car for now. GM CEO Daniel Akerson even has offered to?buy back the Volts of anyone who is concerned about the fire hazard, according to The Associated Press.
The number of drivers asking for a loaner car is ?a handful,? according to Martin.? Hmm, that?s suspiciously similar to the number who have already crashed their cars.? Is anyone checking to see if the people asking for loaners have already totaled their Volt?
Which car would you most like to own?

Egypt vote: Highest turnout 'since the pharaohs'
CAIRO?? Anticipating a strong presence in the new Egyptian parliament, ultraconservative Islamists outlined plans Friday for a strict brand of religious law, a move that could limit personal freedoms and steer a key U.S. ally toward an Islamic state.

Egypt's election commission announced only a trickle of results from the first round of of country's first free vote in six decades and said 62 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the highest turnout in modern history.
However, leaked counts point to a clear majority for Islamist parties at the expense of liberal activist groups that led the uprising against Hosni Mubarak, toppling a regime long seen as a secular bulwark in the Middle East.
The more pragmatic Muslim Brotherhood is poised to take the largest share of votes, as much as 45 percent. But the Nour Party, which espouses a strict interpretation of Islam in which democracy is subordinate to the Quran, could win a quarter of the house, giving it much power to affect debate.
Moderate Islamists have won elections in Tunisia and Morocco in the past two months.
The world is watching the election for pointers to the future in Egypt, the most populous Arab nation and one hitherto seen as a firm U.S. ally committed to preserving its peace treaty with Israel and fighting Islamist militancy.
Abdul Moez Ibrahim, the head of the election committee, joked that the turnout was the highest in any Egyptian election "since the pharaohs." It was even greater than in the "forgeries of the past elections," he added, referring to the Mubarak era.
Story: Islamist parties poised for big win in EgyptHe said 8.3 million of 13.6 million registered voters in areas that voted in the first round had cast their ballots. Other parts of the country will vote in two more rounds, and run-offs must also be held in a six-week election process.
"The blood of martyrs has watered the tree of freedom, social justice and the rule of law. We are now reaping its first fruits," Ibrahim said in tribute to more than 850 people killed in a popular revolt that toppled Mubarak in February.
Protesters were out again in Cairo's Tahrir Square Friday to mourn 42 people killed in the 10 days before the vote at rallies demanding the generals who replaced Mubarak give way to civilian rule.
"Without Tahrir, we wouldn't have had these elections," said Mohamed Gad in the square that cradled the revolt. "God willing, the elections will succeed and the revolution will triumph."
But many of the young people who took to the streets early this year now fear their revolution risks being stolen, either by the army rulers or by well-organized Islamist parties.
Conservatism could wreck tourism
Ibrahim announced the results of only a handful of clear-cut victories for individual candidates, with most going to run-offs next week, and gave no figures for party lists in the polls.
He said four candidates, two from the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and two liberals, won over 50 percent of votes for outright victory out of 56 individual seats at stake.
The FJP said 39 of its candidates would fight run-off races. The party dominates a coalition with other smaller parties. Their coalition will be contesting 45 seats.
Yousry Hamad, a senior official of the Salafi Nour Party, said 26 of its contenders were involved in run-offs, 24 of them going head-to-head with FJP candidates.
Muslim Brotherhood bends rules to win big in Egypt"We will go into the run-offs with all our might and there will be no deals with anyone. We will aim to do better than we have already," Nour leader Emad Abdel Ghafour told Reuters.
In Egypt's complex election process, two-thirds of the 498 seats will go proportionately to party lists, with the rest to individual candidates.
The Muslim Brotherhood, banned but semi-tolerated under Mubarak, has said its FJP expects to win 43 percent of party list votes in the first stage, building on the Islamist group's decades of grassroots social and religious work.
But the Brotherhood's website also forecast that the Salafi al-Nour party would gain 30 percent of the vote, a shock for some Egyptians, especially minority Christian Copts, who fear it will try to impose strict Islamic codes on society.
Nour said Thursday it expected 20 percent of the vote.
PhotoBlog: 'Massive' turnout in Egyptian electionsAs in Saudi Arabia, Salafis want to bar women and Christians from executive posts. They would also ban alcohol, mixed beach bathing and "un-Islamic" art and literature.
Such curbs would wreck Egypt's vital tourism industry, which employs about one in eight of the workforce.
More secular-minded Egyptian parties, some of which were only formed after Mubarak's fall, had always feared that they would not have enough time to put up a credible challenge to their experienced and better-funded Islamist rivals.
The liberal multi-party Egyptian Bloc has said it is on track to secure about a fifth of votes for party lists.
Ibrahim, the election chief, acknowledged several violations in Monday and Tuesday's voting, notably campaigning outside polling stations, long queues, failure to stamp some ballots, and late arrival of ballot papers and of a few of the supervising judges. He said these did not affect the results.
Promise of civilian rule
Egypt's ruling generals, who have promised civilian rule by July, have said they will keep powers to appoint or fire a cabinet even after an elected parliament is installed.
The United States, which still gives Egypt about $1.3 billion a year in mostly military aid, has urged the ruling generals to step aside swiftly and make way for civilian rule.
The leader of the Brotherhood's FJP appeared to set the stage for a political tussle with the military this week by saying the majority in parliament should form the government, but the party later said it was premature to discuss the issue.
The FJP says its priorities are ending corruption, reviving the economy and establishing a true democracy in Egypt.
Ever pragmatic, the Brotherhood may avoid allying with Salafis in parliament and seek more moderate coalition partners to reassure Egyptians and foreigners of its intentions.
Senior FJP official Essam el-Erian said before the vote that
Salafis, who had kept a low profile and shunned politics during Mubarak's 30-year rule, would be "a burden for any coalition."
Kamal al-Ganzouri, asked by the army to form a "national salvation government," aims to complete it soon. State television said the cabinet was still being formed, but included at least half of the outgoing team.
Protesters in Tahrir have rejected Ganzouri, 78.
"It is unacceptable that after the revolution, an old man comes and governs. We don't want the army council anymore. they should go back to barracks," said Menatallah Abdel Meguid, 24.

Comedy Central
By Rosa Golijan
Apple's Siri?? the virtual assistant built into the iPhone 4S?? refuses to help its users find abortion clinics and?tends to ignore folks with foreign accents. Sure, there could be an innocent explanation for those things?? such as a series of glitches?? but?Stephen Colbert has an alternate theory.
According to Colbert, Siri is obviously an arch conservative woman, "like Laura Ingraham ??but less robotic."
You can check out that theory?? and its context?? in the clip below. Don't forget that it's from a recent episode of "The Colbert Report" and all in good humor?? so don't let it ruffle too many feathers.
