The first years production of 10,000 units will be sold out quickly. For such a revolutionary car, the develope process has been sound. As battery technology evolves the all electric range can be increased and costs will decrease. The price, before incentives, of $41,000 is not surprising.

Priced more than the Leaf, less than half the electric range, and it's "release" is a paltry 10,000 units. These waterheads never intend to get into the altfuel vehicle market. They'll crank out the same gas-chugging crap they have for a hundred years until the entire board of directors collectively dies of a massive syphillis infection. Worthless whores, we should've never bailed them out. I just feel sorry for the worker who may be stuck with these scumbuckets. GM dropped the ball on this one.

Mainstream consumers won't touch it because at double the price of the very similar 40MPG Chevy Cruze the numbers just don't add up for the calculating motorist. People who for ideological reason's would pay extra for a new energy vehicle will probably resent the fact that there is still an ICE on board. Furthermore it isn't too clear why people would fork out an extra $8500 compared to the Leaf for a range extender since most households already own one: the other car(s) in the household they can use for those longer trips. Of course the lease deal is a different thing altogether. In fact it's so cheap compared to buying that it seems obvious that GM is a lot more interested in leasing EV's than selling them. Sounds eerily familiar.. I wonder who would actually buy the Volt.

I'd buy the Leaf. Or, if I could afford a Volt at $41,000, I'd spend the next year saving the extra $8,000 to buy a Tesla S when they come out.
