I can't see any reason to justify 20K extra for a car to use electricity, and have GMs "great" reliability....yay for Toyota! might as well stay with the best option, Prius, then.

GM is Finally on it's way with new Volt. What I don't get, how can ANY car company keep over pricing these new cars..especially when they are pricing the general public right out of one. Why don't they go sell them for around $20,000 and sell a whole lot more! In the long run, I think that "long run" = more selling and more profits for GM. I cannot afford a $40,000 new car and I'm not the only one. Why over price and keep on getting people who end up NOT paying! Times are bad and people can't pay for what they've already got. But the ones who can buy, need a better deal than $30-$40,000. Thats why GM got into the finacial shape it is in now and retirees's spouses are losing some of the health benefits or are being charged more for their prescription drug coverage. C'mom GM...and ALL car companies..man up and do what's right and affordable and people will buy what your selling! And, why should all these 'green' cars be soooo expensive.. I know things costs BUT shouldn't the Government (epa) include enough incentives to help cover most of the cost to build these cars? Shouldn't that be included in the bail-out money?

What i am saying is that if they are trying to save on fuel why not make copies of the "water car" and start selling that. I just don't get the US Government's thinking anymore.

There's a sneaking suspicion that he got this quote from somewhere, not just out of his ass. He's playing with numbers and possibilities here, stop trying to be a condescending prick and realize that this is a discussion, not a scientific forum.

Chevy just needs to do what ever they can do keep it in the $30,000 ballpark I have to say, if it stays at 30,000, ill be buying one. thats pretty cheap. i mean hey, its a sick looking, fuel efficient, electric plug-in car. that’s a pretty sweet deal.

This is the reason I am not going to buy another Chevrolet. There not making what anyone wants. Look at the Volt, it doesn't look anything like the concept.. All I can say, "If they go out of business, well, that's too bad." “I’d rather it come out in 2010, and if it costs closer to 40 than 30, well, that’s too bad.”

A lower price will also be much more enticing for people to buy it which will help GM to sell large numbers of the vehicle and be profitable. It is very easy to find a one or two year old used vehicle in the $20K price range that gets 30 MPG Hwy. If you take the $20K savings and purchase gas at $5.00 a gallon you will travel approximately 80 to 120,000 miles, dependent of if highway or city miles, before you even break even. I think after 100,000 miles most of us are ready for a newer vehicle with newer technology. The economic break even point to entice middle class citizens to buy this vehicle has to come much quicker to deem it affordable.
