Its an expensive car, but there is so much technology packed into it, and 95% of Americans will never really understand it, nor would they care to know how it works.
one of the head program directors said in a press conference that the Volt's battery system has something like 15 million lines of code. To put that in perspective, the F-35 fighter jet has 8 milion lines of code for the whole jet.
This car is epic in many ways. Is it going to save you money? No. Is it going to save the polar bears? No.
The car is a technological powerhouse, for GM to display that they are not a company that makes pick up trucks and gas guzzlers. Its an image car, not to make the company tons of cash, but serve as a gateway to a new way of making cars, and how to think about cars for the future.
And if you guys come to the March meet....maybe you too can see a Volt.
