-- has an answer to the Chevy Volt it is the brand new all electric Ford Focus.

But the price tag is way -- that nearly 40000.

Dollars.

He joined the company is Gary gas flow for the box car report -- -- -- look I'll do the financial side and as you drove one of them tell us how it growth.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All right let's talk price 40000 books right about the same as the -- roughly speaking forty ground.

I can go and get a Ford Focus gasoline talent strictly gas about twenty -- I put it to you the 20000 dollar gas product -- focus is a better deal financially that a 40000 all all electric.

It's true right now and -- -- I'm 33 doesn't have to that tax credits and that's we're talking about there but you will save about 12100 dollars a year on energy with this.

So there's the basis higher but but it went -- depends on the pricing of an interest to them right now depending on the parts of -- in the price of gas that's gonna change -- so four dollars a gallon depending on where you live the national average 12100 dollars here a connect -- says about this -- well.

They're not really all in the way the sun is with the -- -- build this big factor in Nashville they expect to sell tens of thousands of these up part of the reason for put this on the focused platform.

It's a -- -- build in the same plant and if demand there that you make more -- that demands not there they can make we're gasoline powered cars and it is one of the best selling cars.

They're not making any projections on sales they'll build what the market will take.

And I spoke to -- -- -- sustainability he said look you know our biggest competition is our own cars the focus gets forty miles a gallon.

You know as long as guess is that for you this is still in the -- Now you've driven alternative I'm right you're driven the -- from these sound you've driven -- -- Chevy Volt from General Motors and value driven the Ford Focus all electric which is the best.

The get the price well what's the best you don't -- the -- Is not electric hybrid it's electric power to -- a little bit different there I think the focus is a more refined carbon relief.

Although -- is a little bit cheaper a little bit bigger inside of the focuses more impressive vehicle I think you know again that -- addresses more people but again it's still.

A very specific market and if you're driving more than 35 miles Eckhart as -- for you either which won't would you -- if you want limited by -- -- packet.

It really depends on where you live this is -- and over again and again I live in the city none of them while you may not allowed to I don't have a place to plug the car and so done of these cars do anything for -- who lives in this if I lived in the suburbs and commuted to the city.

Then one of -- might work.

Do you and one I don't know what you've done to -- I don't feel like not generally this.

But jackass thanks a lot of those branches and very interesting stuff --
