Sometimes you gotta streach out, get radical and take chances...thats the only way to exceed the norm. I know those cars mentioned above are high tech and expensive speedsters for the excentric...still, how many
passengers are in the cars you pass?...most contain only ONE! Auto companies need to design single passenger cars....none, not one major Auto company has designed a car for one passenger. When I drive to work, I don't take my wife and kids with me.... Then why the rear seat? Why the friendly, family look? The 40 mile charge is perfect for commuting to work and back home....again without the family. Just sayin....I know I talk too much.....and am prone to exaggeration....sorry!
GM doesn't even make money off the 1st generation of Volts so your conspiracy theory about GM taking the easy/cheap way out is BS.

And what works for you doesn't work for the majority of Americans. That's something every automotive enthusiast needs to learn.
