OK, the car guy has to weigh in just a bit. Mr. Buffalo (?) is right. The Volt was conceived in the early 2000's and the first prototype was making the auto show circuit in 2007. It is an excellent car (sorry) but it is expensive, as most 1st generation technology is. The Prius got $1-billion in Japanese government R&D money and took 5 years to turn a profit. Now it is a sales star. For my good friend Neal, the redesigned Silverado comes out in 2013. Something for everyone.
