evanator19…please go back and read RaineMan comment again…he said about $5000 for 5 YEARS. That means $1000 per year, not your $5000 per year. Nobody that I know off drive that much, beside the 18-wheelers.

My Lord!

They took a Prius, changed the headlights and taillights, and slapped on Volt badges!

Okay, maybe not. The thing bears a resemblance to the Prius, imho.

‘JustCrap88′, go back and read AGAIN, and this time get your baby sister to help you understand FACT. Your stupidity and worthlessness is unparalleled. Die.

‘DrFool’, seems you’re outed … others now see your worthlessness as vividly as I saw it long ago. Don’t be offended by being confronted with FACT, accept it and move on, loser … you are nothing. Go find a board about bags and purses … you’ll fit right in.

I’m a firm GM hater. I hate opportunists and mismanagement (Washington for the last 8yrs included..) But, this is a nice effort.

Get rid of the Jobs Bank and only pay executives out of profits like we small business have to.. Then give us realists an option: a small diesel or the new, GDI gas engine. Jim

No need to get testy
The Volt, assuming it does come to market, will be an advance, but too expensive to compare to a Prius.
It would be in a class of one.
Toyota has already pre-wired the Prius to run on Lithium and Plug-In Technology, just like the Volt, when Toyota is ready to upgrade the batteries
Considering the fact that the Volt won’t be out for another 18 months, a Prius with the same technologies may be ready by then.
I wish GM well, with the Volt, and overall.
I don’t know how much of an impact a $35k car will have on the market, though.
Toyota should be able to sell 200k a year, factoring in previous owners looking to trade
Honda may have more trouble, with the Insight getting lower EPA than the Civic Hybrid, and so closely apeing the Prius design, and the interior is not in the same league.
I presume GM’s plan is if, and when, the Volt makes it to the market successfully, to move that technology into the Malibu sedan, to fight the Fusion and Camry Hybrids.
GM seems to have a plan, for once.

no way people will pay an upgrade of up to 10k for a chevy over a toyota or honda… pity or not, chevy in the customers reception, is WAY below toyota or, to a lesser extent, honda…

and WRONG, after 40 miles the gas kicks on to recharge the battery. not to run the car the rest of the time. Its the opposite of todays typical hybirds.

The interior of the car doesnt match the new interior they have on other pics. This car has their old Interior, so these photos are old.

DrFill – the Volt is not anything like the Cobalt once the initial (40 mile) battery charge is depleted. Furthermore, its drivetrain represents a substantial technologically advancement over the Prius that you refer to. See my post above.

And here I thought you knew something about cars….

cdstylzz – let me answer your question completely: yes, the car will run for 40 miles on electricity only, without the internal combustion engine operating. However, after about 40 miles – with the batteries nearing depletion, the combustion engine comes on, but only to charge the battery. The combustion engine – unlike current ‘hybrids’ on the market – is not connected to the drivetrain nor does it propel the car directly. This is part of what makes the Volt unique, and is central to its substantial efficiency (equivalent 100 MPG) over the current hybrids.

Right the first 40 miles is electric, than it’s all gas
DRiving a car 40 miles on pure electricity will drain any battery
Which brings into question, if this car is only available with battery assistance for 40 miles, than basically after that it is a Cobalt, or any regular economy car
Prius uses Regenerative braking, and other measures, to keep the battery in the game
The battery better be more than a 40 mile wonder
It needs to be plugged in daily, but many owners will not have access to plug-in through a garage

It looks better than the Prius and the Insight. I am not sure if I am understanding this correctly. After 40 miles the car runs on gasoline until you can recharge the battery? Can someone help me? Because my daily commute ranges from 100 – 250 miles per day.

What are you talking about? Were you born retarded or did the doctor drop you a couple times after you came out?

I read you’re post you goddamn sack of sht, FACT: Quality is NOT equal amongst all brands within 5 years or not you ignorant jackass.

Man, you are just an embarrassment to human kind, do everyone a favor and go kill yourself.

You need more than luck, chump. Your history of posts shows like a wasteland of dead carcasses and no life. All coming from a fruitcake who has no taste in design and loves feminine biatchmobiles.

You are truly worthless here and provide NO value to anyone.

I, however, post FACTS. Facts about automobiles, facts about the economy, facts about investing … everything I post is of value … and all FACTS.

Nobody cares what you think … begone waste of a life.

You only wish you could be a part of my group. Unfortunately, middle-of-the-bell-curve folks don’t cut it. Nor do purse-carrying pansies. Nor do tasteless losers. Nor do worthless tools. You get the idea.

But there’s no harm in trying to better yourself. Good luck with that.

Read again, ‘JustCrap88′ … buy something today and within five years there is little to no difference in quality amongst competing brands and classes … FACT. You need to go back INTO your cave, POS … more FACT.

Read again, ‘Dr Fool’ … I am rungs above chimps like you in life. Keep trying though … at least your taste in feminine automobiles is above the $30k threshold. When you can get to $80k+ and something of the masculine sort, try and get back to me and maybe I’ll treat you like a member of the group. Until then, stick to pickup trucks and MINIs.

To me it’s a good looking car! Nevertheless, if this car is going to be priced about $30K to $35K, it will be competing with some of the world’s best cars! Hmmmm… BMW 3 or Chevy Volt… It will be an interesting decision to make! Yes I agree that it will depend on many factors in the future, including the economic situation in late 2010 when it’s on sale.
