Absolutely. The more they use it the more it pulls up their corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) and makes room for the performance models we love.

With a 55k price tag?

Probably. Tech isn't cheap!

Powertrain probably should have been in a Caddy from the start due to cost. GM is still having issues convincing folks to buy that 40K+ Chevy.

Compared to the rest of the EV market, the Volt is selling ridiculously well.

Interesting. I had read otherwise but in different context.

Is there a gen 2 voltec in the works? I've got to think they've learned a lot.

FenwickHockey65 · 01-13-2013, 05:47 PM

They're already working on the 2nd gen.

Seems to be steep for a fancy volt....

I thought that 40k ish for the volt was steep.

Dealers could always help out by pushing them more. Many people spend 30ish on Malibu's and Impala's and with the 7500 credit it brings the Volt down to 33.5K or so. The gas savings over the course of the vehicle even it out, not to mention make people feel like they're doing good. But every new tech costs a lot in the beginning, it'll come down.
