I guess it would depend on what you would call "affluent". 35-40k on a 4 door car, regardless of how it is motivated (electric, IC engine, thrust vectored...j/k) isn't exactly what I would call a stretch, depending on how it's appointed and built. As the technology gets proven and becomes more available, the prices will come down. Just remember, though, that the Volt development wasn't fully government funded like the Toyota Prius, so the cost has to be absorbed somewhere. :flag2:
