Why you ask?!

Well Bob Lutz came out with a thousands promises with the Volt, hit hurdles with each statement. Car was never meant to be a hybrid, now GM uses their failure (hybrid vs full electric) as an excuse by comparing it other full electric cars and saying "well now you have a gas option just incase you run out of juice, not like the other competition"
I think thats sad, compare it to other hybrids, dont shoot other FULL electric cars range.
Anyways the design is great, sure its a hybri, thats great, just hate the false advertising.
Other hybrids don't do 40 miles on electricity alone. I don't know where you've been the last few years, but the Volt ALWAYS had a gasoline generator on board for extended range, even in its conceptual stages.
