I'll say this about the Volt, it may new technology but its far from the answer to alternate transportation everyone was hoping for. At best the Volt is what the next phase of what hybrid vehicles should be, albeit at a very high price. If saving money is your game your better off avoiding ANY hybrid or electrical vehicle because the markup for the powertrain offsets the fuel savings. Some people take this mean a vehicle is a failure as evidenced by the OP's obvious opinion. Keep in mind these powertrains cost more than a couple arms and legs if you will to develop and face nobody is going to sell product at a loss. Give it 20 years and I'll venture to guess electric cars will cost just as much as conventional gasoline powered cars and every gasoline powered car will be hybrids. Buy what you like, some people would say we waste money buying Camaros.
