The funny thing I read an article in USA today a while ago saying that green cars are going to sell and thats what american people want.

That is my gripe too. My commute is such that I could go to and from work each day on just battery power, with just a little left at the end of the day. Say I spend $35 a week on fuel now (which I don't) then that's only ~$1800 savings a year if I completly ignore the recharge costs, and it would take a while to recover the cost difference between a comperable gas burner and the Volt. I get that this car is really for technophiles at this point, I just wish it was a bit of a better value for the common guy as I would really consider purchasing one as my next car. Hopefully if it takes off more the price will come down and it will make more sense.
