Not to sound negative but it seems to me that both GM AND the Chevy retailers would have to buy-in and participate in a program to insure members of this website who have expressed interest in the Volt are given priority.

While GM may be manageable, getting 4000 dealers to cooperate with our priority list seems a bit wishful at best. Individual dealers are going to give priority to their favored customers and past Chevy loyalists because that’s good business for them. Unless GM attaches “strings” to the Volt distribution to dealers, it is likely to be hit and miss. Hope I’m wrong – I want one.

I have a question for the folks who are on this list….I’m looking to hire someone for a restorable, renewable energy company in MA/NH and I’m curious if there are any specific websites and/or organizations I could call on. It’s a site development project manager role for someone who has land acquisition and negotiation as well as strongly desired experience working with the power grid/companies. I’ve about exhausted my resources and I saw this board…hope someone can help/stear me in the right direction!

Tim Collins,

Though it will be likly the highest incomemarket will get the first some thousand I believe this price tag will eliminate most buyers. How many gals of $10/gal of gas can one buy for 35,000 + interest.

I agree with you Jim l. I would hate to be on this list for years.
And have someone from the sunshine state or anywhere else take my place.
Thats a bunch of “CowPattie ” You must realize; that the people
on the list are serious about Electric cars.
Butch from the corn states

“I would love to have a volt. The problem with hybrids is the numbers as far as cost and savings don’t add up.”

This was often true when gas was $2.00/gallon and what have proved to be poor assumptions were made. It’s seldom true now even with similar poor assumptions. The “numbers” are specific to each individuals use and needs. What numbers don’t add up for you?

By than gas may be so expensive, some are saying up to 2.25 per litre in Canada, that we cannot afford to not have one. Sign me up!

As hopeful as I am – and recognizing that it is way too early to draw a solid conclusion on the topic – the specter of a $35K+ Volt on the dealers’ lot in 2011 gives me pause. That would be a car my family cannot reasonably afford.
