People also need to understand that the car was NOT.....

...NOT...

...designed to save you money.

It was designed to make a few different statements about electric cars, and about GM in general. It was also designed because there is a significant amount of people who are interested in buying this car. And honestly, $350 a month is not too much more than what most of us here are paying for Camaros (in some cases it's less!!)....so I'm not seeing why its so insane to buy a very well-equipped car if you've got the money.

If you're on a budget -- get a Cruze, that's who it was designed for. and 42 on the highway ain't too shabby.

Different markets, people. We can compare the Volt to a cheap econobox all day and call it 'insane'...but then we may as well compare the Camaro to the prius and call it a stupid choice, as well.
