Finally, a Chevy other than a Corvette that I'm actually interested in.

I'm anxiously awaiting the offical Volt debut.
One thing concerns me, however. I'm a big, tall guy - I barely fit into my 2009 Audi A4. Will this thing's interior be big enough for me?
Help me out here, guys. Does anybody know how large the interior of the Volt is supposed to be?

Nice $30,000 Car, that should be $16,000.

How can the most technologically advanced car on the road be 16k.

(excuse my Ipod/mispelled words it is hard to type on.)

GM better do this one right. It's almost their last chance.

Ummmmm... 1UAW, how is it the most technologically advanced car in the world? Plus, the Prius has a proven track record of reliablity. GM would be smart if they priced a plain Volt Hyrbid for $16,000-$25,000 depending on trim, and then had a $25,000-$32,000 plug in depending on trim.

Thats right GM is not smart.

I swear it looked so much better when it was first unveiled (As is always the case, the production version gets "watered down")

Amazing. I believe AutoSpies has outdone itself this time. There are some even lower-browed responses on this thread than usual. <smh> Lexus will be selling a "Prius" (and to the asshole who is going to tell me that the HS250h is a Toyota Avensis, with a 2.4L Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder and a Prius-like electro drive, making it closer to a Scion tC, I already know that) for around US$30k. So how is it that the Volt selling for the same money with far more advanced technology is too expensive? Corvettes are expensive cars, but for the money you are getting a terrific car. It's not hard to fathom that another Chevrolet product can deliver the same.

You got a point about the Corvette, even though its a $112,000 car with the entire rear end made of plastic. No really, the entire back end of the Corvette is made out of plastic. Cars that cost 90% less have metal rear ends.
