The question of fuel economy will fade at 50+ mpg. ====================================================== Besides the fact that you left out aesthetics (assuming that is NOT what 'pride in ownership' is referring to), I will 100% agree with you. In my eyes, if all the competition was at say, 75mpg, and there was a car on the market (lets hope it's American or European) that looks amazing compared to all others, but that car only had say, 60-65mpg, I would likely pick that car. Especially if it had better performance! I would even lower myself down to 50mpg, as long as the performance difference was significant enough. #4, Dave K.,

I thought that you were just going to sling mud there for a minute. Let's not forget though, that Toyota currently has RAV4 EV's on the road that get hundreds of miles per charge. Just plain EV, no extended range=EV that only gets 30-40 miles per charge. It's even a small SUV. No kammback design, or anything special. You could probably fit a generator in it with the sacrifice of -20 miles per charge and still get TONS more out of it. This whole thing just doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for clearing it up Lyle.

Are you still going to insist that Volt has a shortcoming by requiring an extremely large (40-mile) minimum capacity?
