Not a difficult decision for me. The Volt will never pay for itself. It doesn't make sense to have essentially 2 power systems in 1 vehicle from a maintenance, reliability, economy, or financial standpoint. You would be better off buying a cheaper gasoline only vehicle that gets good mileage.
The electric only has credibility. For families with 2 cars, one of them could be electric for commuting, getting groceries, errands, etc. The other would be gas and would be used whenever both vehicles are needed at the same time, or for trips exceeding the range of the electric.
The Leaf interests me, but it's too expensive, too new (too ugly), and isn't appropriate for a single guy like me. Maybe when (if) I'm married...
