Given a choice between all the so called “green” cars, I like the Volt best and believe it would fit my needs nicely.
However, I will never be able to afford a $47,000 car of any kind. If the Volt was $20,000 or less, I would consider it.
So, where did GM get the idea that anyone could afford this thing at that price when that competition is offering vehicles at substantially lower prices?

Probably the same place that they got the idea that someone would want to buy the Pontiac Aztec.
I tend to agree with you. It’s a car that could fit some peoples needs but it’s out of sight price wise.
Then there’s the unknown of what’s 5 or 6 years down the road, the technology in the Volt may very well be obsolete and who’s going to want it when the expensive battery and other parts approach time for replacement.
For the enviro nuts that have more money than brains who want to make a statement it’s fine but I don’t believe there’s enough of that type to even come close to making it a success.
