I think some people need to readjust their thinking in here...
None of these cars, while being practical...can possibly SAVE you any money over current gasoline prices. That was, is, and never can be the goal. These cars are feel-good for some, and legitimate solutions for others. But if you want to go green, independant, or whatever else the Volt stands for...you're going to have to pay. (At least until the cost of the tech goes down.)
What this vehicle does, above all else -- is set the stage for more. And gives Chevy a solid foot in the door for the electric car 'revolution'.
I can't possibly see how they could have priced it any lower. This project soaked up in EXCESS of a billion dollars to develop. Easily double the average new car, like the Camaro....
I guess you can't please everyone with a keyboard, though.
