1) Train his personnel for a car that he thinks will not sell in this oil friendly town.
2) He must keep a floor model and not sell it which will cost him dearly.
3) They do not like the idea of selling an all electric (no engine) Chevy Volt to me.
Does anyone else have any new thoughts about the prospects of seeing the Chevy Volt on car lots this year?
Thanks!

They don't have a hybrid Volt to sell you as of now, much less an all electric version, that at this instant in time is vaporware.
When was the hybrid version supposed to be available? A year ago, two years ago, three years ago?
You will be lucky to see that version in 5 years. Why worry about selling or buying it in the first place? By that time there will be options from many other companies that are not even designed at this time.
Or you could just buy a used hybrid Volt for say 10 k, after you see how it works out as far as design, performance, or maintenance issues.
