I do like and promote hybrids for those motorists that can benefit. That said, I like the idea of the Insight, although I have always lusted after CRX' and it's kinda similar; and owning an EV1 would be awesome but then again maybe just for the conversation piece value as it too wouldn't meet my needs. How about an EV1 with an ICE pusher trailer...

Yup. My POV is that the Volt is an implementation of the techy-home-brew plug-in Prius that already exists.
I won't buy one either. I consider the Volt to be a "flagship green car" with stuff that will hopefully filter down to regular ICE models.
