MikeS: 5 person seating capacity is one of the most basic “check offs” on whether a car will be bought by a lot of people

This is a compact car that will mostly be had by commuters that already have other vehicles. Five seats is not on my check-off list and is probably not on the ‘most basic’ list. imho, most compacts that advertise 5-seats can’t really seat 5 adults.

A fifth seat won’t be an option for this generation using a ‘T’ battery.

I agree with Lyle about the 50-amp charging. I don’t want my vehicle to be ‘not ready’ all night. This is not such a problem with the Volt because of the genset, but, it’s a psychological limitation.

As with most married guys, wifey-poo has a lot of the total votes. However, I find that my salesmanship and negotiation skill is handy for these larger purchases

Dan Petit: I especially like question numer 7 , and, expecially the idea of sub-blogs.

A sub-blog for each VIN would be a good idea. Otherwise, the owners would step on each other single-threaded.

Nelson: ”I have to think when in the history of the auto industry have we ever seen the price of a car drop like LCD’s or Computers.If it’s $40K it will be that way forever!NPNS!

The Volt is like the first PC. It is the first of its kind. It is hard to think of a car this way, but there is nothing like the Volt in the world today. Then whole paradigm about cars and their consumption of fossil fuels is coming to an end.

I believe that the Volt with its tax incentive, will be in the 35000 to 40000 range, and rev II will be 28000 to 35000 for the options packages. It is like the the transistor, a game changer that can not be stopped or put back in the bottle.

Side note: Lyle, been here reading, learning, and on occasion posting. You and this blog are one of my first stops each day. I cannot say thank you enough for all you have done.

Since I have sold my Sparrow because of range, I have been dreaming of another alternative, and Lyle, you brought it to me.

Thanks to you, Statik, and all the other posters that make GM-VOLT the site it is today.
