I can't wait for 5-6 years down the road when every major auto maker and a few smaller ones have higher-quality PHEV's on the market and they actually have to compete to sell a car (with lower prices and better comforts). As it stands now, GM will make a bundle of money with an expensive, soon-to-be-surpassed car and then get run over by all the other higher-quality PHEV's from other auto makers. Depressing...but that's the "take the money and run" American companies motto these days.

The weight stipulation is our government cowing down to big business yet again. We all know why.....they don't like the threat of competition from the likes of Aptera, Zenn, etc... Piss poor judgment from our government yet again.
