The competition in the lower-end hybrid marketplace is fierce and while the Volt will be a technology leader, there will be a REALLY long wait for a buyer to get a return on their investment. <BR/><BR/>With cars like the Cruze able to churn out ~40MPG and models like the 2010 Prius which can produce ~50MPG, it is going to take a dedicated person to fork over the $ for the Volt.<BR/><BR/>Much more promising is something like the Converj which is a drop dead gorgeous car. People will spend big bucks just for that reason alone and the fact that it has an advanced drivetrain is just gravy.<BR/><BR/>I wish GM success with the Volt, but unless things change in the marketplace it might be a low volume model.Michael Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519378841550854256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17606663.post-48548442141894377352009-01-21T11:23:00.000-08:002009-01-21T11:23:00.000-08:00With this kind of gas price.
