This is a deal breaker for me. Without the $5000 tax break the car is not affordable. If the battery can’t be warrantied for 10 years it’s even LESS affordable.

I live in California. I was hell bent on buying a Volt. Now… I am NOT going to buy a Volt until it meets the California AT-PZEV requirements.

I’m very late to this conversaton, but I agree with all the people who say that the Volt should have a longer basic warranty. Premium imported cars all have at least a 4 year 50,000 mile warranty, and I think the Volt will be sold as a premium sedan with a good amount of “cache.” Also, the fact that the intention is to, “in the future” meet the California 10 year, 150,000 mile warranty standard is disturbing. So, I buy a Volt mid 2012 only to discover that had I waited, I would have obtained a much better warranty? Why shouldn’t I wait? And what will all those waiting customers do for early sales?

nuclearboy: Lyle, you will have to work extra hard to bring us news of the Volt Version 2.0.

We won't need news. We'll be on the highways making it.
