[Quietcars] letter to Consumer Reports

[michael townsend]

My concern Ken is that there has been NO mention of beeps, chirps and
squawks as have been noted that the Nissan Leaf exhibits.  Maybe there are,
but none of the articles I've read or the youb8ubes I've viewed points this
out,  I could be way off base here, but if there are any consumer warning
aids on this vehicle, I would surely love to know about them.

I expressed my concern about pedestrian safety to the Consumer Reports
Editorafter its recent article about hybrids.  I hope the magazine gets a
lot more letters!

You will hear the sound of the new Chevrolet Volt being slung around a test
track only as the tires squeal during braking and turns; I thought that I
heard the gasoline motor assist the electric propulsion faintly, but it is
quiet.  In the many reports I've read thus far, nothing has been said about
consumer protection with regard to noise emitting devices.  We'll keep
looking.
