I watched it yesterday on Netflix (available streaming online). I agree that it wasn't like the first one. They kept talking about changing the world with $40,000 or $110,000 cars. The volt owner's average income is $177,000. I know that they are early adopters, but this is 2012. This should have been done a long stinking time ago, and we should be past the "ridiculously expensive early adopter phase". I wish there were a plug in hybrid kit for a couple thousand bucks that can do even 10 or 15 miles before switching over to "other".
