Personally, of course I LOVE my Monte, and other good sounding, cool cars...but, of all the hybrid/ electric cars (that actually get above 40MPG) I think the Volt is the best looking...I would drive a Volt over a prius, or Insite anyday...But then again, i've said it before, i'm a GM snob...LOL! Honestly, though, the Volt seems like a pretty cool car, and the MPG's are incredible. But i'll never trade my Monte for it...LOL...maybe keep the Monte in the garage and commute in it...LOL!

I'd rather drive a car that gets 15 mpgs.

I said it. I'm not a fan of these hybrids. I'm glad people are buying them though, so there is more fuel for me to consume irresponsibly

Demanification is my new favorite word. I will work that word into at least 3 conversations today and probably everyday until I come up with a new favorite word.

The numbers are impressive and I'm eager to see what happens next. I would like to see it succeed, but my feeling is that this trend will fail, only because its target market tends to rip on GM for no genuine reason.

I don't really want one. The original designs that I saw for the Volt intrigued me more. It looked cool in concept art

I agree with Brent. I like the original concept Volt. The two door. Looked kinda like an electric version of the new Camaro almost.

I'd like to believe the Volt will get 230 MPG. But somehow I think there's some creative spin being done on that number.

I call shenanigans!
