The problem there is that they obviously don't. Leaving politics out and sticking strictly to cars, have you priced SUVs or big pickups, especially once you start adding options? They're right up there in Volt territory, sometimes - Hummer, Escalade, &c - well beyond. Are the people who buy these buying with their wallets? Or with something on the other side of their trousers?

I do not believe their are enough "tree-huggers" (no offense, I mean that in a good way!!) to make diddly squat difference in The Volt Sales.
Just like there weren't enough to mean squat in Prius sales, eh?

Personally, the average good people of these foothills of East Kentucky that had $40,000 to spend in cash or credit for a car, is much more likely to put in on a Double-Wide Trailer!!
You need to remember, though, that East Kentucky is not the US.
