Default The new Chevy Volt
are they f'n kidding? 42K? LMAO. For a glorified golf cart. That government tax credit should be challenged in court since the government has a large stake in GM and handing out credits would seem to be a conflict of interest. You can get a Mini Cooper for 15K less or a BMW 3 series for 3K less including the tax credit. Good luck with this one.

at $40,000 this will be an umitigated flop.

the guy at audi had it right. it's competing for corolla buyers at bmw prices. there aren't enough idiots that'll shell out that kind of money.
