"Most of the dealers we've surveyed use the Volt as a bridge to show other Chevy products," says Art Spinella, president of CNW Research in Bandon, Ore., which specializes in automotive research. "About 80% of the people who go see it aren't intenders, they're just going to see what it's like."
They walk in to see Volt and walk out with keys to a Cruze.
GM's Volt, at $40,000 to purchase or $350 a month to lease (with more cost for a quick-charge setup, if desired), isn't particularly practical or economical, in terms of energy conservation. At least not yet. Without a garage, a considerable hurdle for some city dwellers, there's limited availability for charging the battery.
