Read the story again. It is a Volt propulsion mule within a Cruze skin.

GM can easily say, "We're close, but not quite production ready. The body/chassis isn't finalized, the plant where we will build the Volt's generator motor isn't ready, and we are also still fine tuning the performance of the E-flex drivetrain."

The private jets are already paid for, even if they don't fly they still pay for upkeep on them and the pilots still get paid.
But everybody bitched last time.
So to make everyone happy.
Instead of taking all the people that will accompany wagnor on the plane which per person is not that much in the scheme of things, here's the new plan.

We'll waste 15 hours of the CEO's time driving 500 miles at the same time complaining he's not doing enough to run the company.
Meanwhile we still have to get all the rest of the people her, so they're still going to take a plane or maybe we'll just have them all drive 20 cars. I mean the lawyers don't care, they charge $400/hr no matter what so I am sure this is a good use of their time and our money.
Next we'll either fly in our volt prototype, or maybe we'll throw it on a semi that gets 6mpg since flying is so taboo.
Now were going to drive the volt in to DC and all you Fing sheep including congress are going to praise us for saving money this time with no Fing idea that the actual amount of time and money doing it this way was much higher then flying everyone in on the damn plane that only took an hour.

This is why congress and society is such a Fing joke. No one is smart enough to look at the real problem instead we focus our decision on a, meaningless in the scheme of things, corporate plane ride.

If people should be fired for taking planes at others expense while running stuff in to the ground, then all the people in congress that fly to their home state on tax payer money every week would be gone.
