Like all cars the price will go down after a couple years, don't be so against it. Car companies all over have cars that are well above $50k. It's not something out of the ordinary, just look at Mercedes and BMW. It''s a new concept.

not only that its 4 times the cost of a Fiat that gets better fuel economy.
this technology is nothing new diesel-electric trains use the same thechnology the last 60 years only thing new on this is they put an lithium battery to start with.

good for you but for the rest of us we can barely afford a $14,000 car
go ahead put the $5,000 down payment for it to secure your spot in getting one 2 years from now !
good luck ! and i mean it !

It means that they w'll put 1.4 litre gasoline engine in the car(hahahahaha).I got in my Fiat Bravo 1.4 litre engine 90 HP,60 MPG hiway speed and 35 MPG in city... Fuel eficient car!!! Volt is a fake!!!! Make it full electric!!! Like Tesla!!!That is the car!!! Wake up America!!! Greatings from Romania

I would pay $50K and even more for the Volt. It is well designed and electric Cars are the future.
Support the wonderful American Country, support American Cars. The Volt is an outstanding concept.
The best thing would be,
if I could get the Volt instantly.
-
well gas is going south of $1.80 and the recession is just getting started so it might go all the way to $1.50 again. We will see if the car still has appeal by the time it comes out.

GM didnt drag towards the Volt Hybrid. they are fighting for their existense thats why.
if gas was $2 a gallon today the Volt will not exist and just be a concept of the imagination !
HUMMERS anyone ?
-
yeah its either blame the workers or blame the media and now for the first time blame the battery EXCUSE !!
a 1997 Toyota Rav4 electric could go over 120 miles on a single change that was 11 years ago over a DECADE ago technology folks !
the EV-1 which GM killed did about the same.
this Volt is Worse only 40 miles on a $40K car that doesnt exist and unproven
BTW it has a gasoline engine too !!

dahur
Haha, that is totally not the case, believe me. They're struggling to meet their 2010 deadline... the devil is in the batteries...
-
I just think GM could come out with it before 2 1/2 years from now if they really wanted to. It's like they're being dragged towards it. But something is better than nothing.
I hate to think what gas will cost by time this car hits the streets.
Might also be because GM sold the Battery improvement patent from the EV1 batteries to EXXON/MOBIL.. Hmmmm what would a gas company, want with a electric car battery patent......

Detroit area newspapers report production of the Volt has been assigned to a plant in southeast Michigan. New lithium batteries are being installed in test vehicles this fall (2007). Lithium was chosen for higher energy storage capacity and lower weight. Looks like a genuine effort this time around.
