The Volt's biggest problem is the pricetag of course, as has been noted frequently. Buying a relatively practical $30k hybrid is one thing - even a Prius will run as long as it has gas in the tank - but spending $45k on a golf cart is another issue altogether.

There are some phenomenal cars available at that price point, and choosing a Volt over a BMW 5 series, Mercedes C Class or GM's own Cadillac CTS takes some serious priority adjustment. That, and people that buy $45k cars don't really care about gas prices.

Agreed, the price of the volt is way out of reason.

It’s a 4 passenger vehicle that’s easily priced 15K to 20K too much for the market. GM can’t rely on the enviro buyer that wants one for a status symbol.

A few days ago I read a piece that said GM would drastically reduce the price of the Volt, I believe it was the GM CEO that said it. I just can’t believe it because they are supposedly losing money on each one now.
