“They can add all of the features they want to, but if gas drops significantly, they are meaningless gestures as the entire point of this car is to drive more cheaply than using gasoline.”

You can get a new Volt right now for about $20,000 after rebates. Compare that to a similarly sized Chevy Cruze for $17,000 and take into account that electricity still costs about half as much as gasoline, and the Volt becomes a smart choice.

Unfortunately there is so much FUD that has been spewed about the Volt that most people don't realize this.

Many people at this point in the argument jump from attacking the economics to attacking the subsidies. I'm happy to discuss the subsidies with you, but the economics of buying a Volt look pretty good right now.

What happen once all of the subsidies go away? Obama is not going to be in office forever. This is a car which survives solely based upon subsidies to its manufacturer and also subsides to those who purchase the car. DOUBLE SUBISIDIES. What other manufacturer gets that? And STILL they cannot sell the car!
