I have not read the whole thread, but allow me to make this commentary. GM wants to sell a car that while quite admirably gets great gas mileage according them, it also is quite expensive according to them. Their price tag of $40k for this is just asinine in my opinion. So for $40k I could have this Chevy Volt, or wait and possibly get the
Tesla Model S for $49k. Hmm....bland Chevy, or sleek performance (well 0-60 5.6 ain't that bad).
Next year I believe Nissan will introduce to our market a smaller subcompact the Leaf, which will debut at $28k. While I would not consider the Leaf to be a replacement for my current auto
, it is however I believe much more competitive than the Volt will be. And if the Tesla Model S turns out to be as reliable as some of us hope and pray, then the Volt could be a failure.
