Shame!

Wife and I test drove a 2013 Volt yesterday. I'm in love with the powertrain. I don't know why GM hasn't put it in other cars. The short range EV with gas backup is a great way to get people into EVs while waiting for batteries to get better/cheaper. There was plenty of giddy-up and the silence makes it seem even quicker. My biggest complaint is the poor visibility, but that's probably a side effect new crash test standards and not unique to the Volt.

I'll try and get a 2013+ in a year or two. Hopefully they keep depreciating as fast as they have been.
