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.

Can I buy a 2005 Toyota Prius in very good condition for $10,000 today? No, they are selling for more than that price because of their fuel economy.

In a nation where no one shames the people who pay $75,000 for a Cadillac Escalade ESV; why is there so much bemoaning and delay about the purchase of a 2011 Chevrolet Volt All-Electric?

That's the real problem here... why did we bail out GM... AGAIN?
