You sure have a strong opinion on something that your opinion shows you dont understand what the Volt is.
I have a Volt home this weekend for evaluation. The trip computer still show 250+ MPG. The engine hasn't come on. There aren't many cars on the road that can do that.
I have recounted the price difference on here and other websites sooo many times I'm not going to do it again. Suffice it to say that with the tax incentive (and that's another argument) the Volt is only $6,000 more than an equivalanet Cruze LTZ. And further the monthly lease deal on the Volt is $350 per month. A great deal for a car of this content.
Is it cheap? No. But for the person with a 40 mile or less commute every day, you choose not to use gasoline. The is a personal choice and an economic choice for many motorists.
And what you are clearly not understanding is that when the battery runs low, the Volt is the ONLY vehicle on sale today that can then continue on using the ICE to sustain the battery and continue on. You can drive a Volt as far as you want, not limited by plug in recharging as all other EVs.
If you are technical enough to appreciate the Camaro, then just a few minutes thinking about the Volt will lead you to the obvious conclusion that it isn't a car for everyone, but the ones that it is the car for it's perfect.
Fail?? I don't think so. Dropped the ball? I think you are just repeating others opinions.
It may not be for you, but that doesn't make it a bad choice for others.
