I’m 44 years old, make $100K a year with a family. I’ll purchase a Volt because I am a Chevy man. My father was a Chevy man and his father was as well. I own a 2002 Avalanche, a 2007 Trailblazer SS, both purchased new. I had a 99 Camaro SS and my wife drives a 2001 VW Bettle. I have owned several Toyota’s and few Honda’s over the years. I just hope that GM really hits this one out the park and doesn’t screw this up. The stakes are too high no doubt and I am sure the powers that be at GM are very aware of it. I hope this car does well as other cars they produce that use alternative power trains only for the sake of their company, their employees and this country. I won’t be purchasing anything BUT EV from this point forward. I am all done sending my money to countires that hate the USA and what it stands for. I’ll be putting a deposit down as soon as I can. Just in case you Chevy marketing people are reading through this. Next up – is a wind turbine and some solar panels.

[...] in our lives. Who knows, maybe someday my electric bike will be parked in my driveway next to my electric car. [...]

wel, I thought it would be a deal but when I scrolled down and found 30K, I thought here we go again.Guess a horse and buggy needs to come back into society. When I go to the Amish country I say, these are the most fortunate people alive. They ride around in their horse and buggy, and live a simple, wonderful life…..

I’d love to buy this car to get off the dependence on foreign oil but not to get back on depnding on China and Korea for supplying batteries. Why cant we make the batteries here??

Alot of people have commented about only the rich being able to afford the Volt. Being a university student I do not have a lot of money to throw around but even if the Volt costs $40k I’ve worked it out and thanks to a good paying summer job, I will be able to afford one. I’ll just have to give up entertainment for a little while. Lucky for me I’ll be graduating just around the time the Volt will be coming out. This will be a nice first car for me.
