The Volt doesn't much interest me.
They are pitching it as an "electric vehicle" even though (to me) it is just a PHEV. In any case, this article claims interest is high:
Over 33,000 buyers signed up for GM electric car | Markets | Markets News | Reuters

The article says "all-electric Chevrolet Volt"... Is there an "all-electric" version?
Pretend the gas-engine/generator doesn't exist I guess.

Watching the commercials for the Volt durning the Olympics. Good spots. Makes me want to buy (at least look at) the Volt.

Of course those liquid-car commercials for the hydrogen BMW and the water pistol Honda spots are cool too. Alot of money spend selling cars you can't buy.

As I understand it, no one on that waiting list has put any money down or signed any sales contract. That's a pretty low bar to be declared a "buyer".

Not an actual waiting list. It is actually an "intent to buy" list.

The question is, at what price do these 33,000 buy? If it were on the market today at $35,000, I think I'd bite. The word is it'll be $40,000 as it stands and I think I'd bite too. But something tells me that 33,000 just dropped to about 5,000.

Interesting thig about the posts on that site is that the VOLT is too expensive. Different prespecive from a different class of worker.
