Volt

Today, I saw a Chevrolet Volt in person for the first time. It was pretty impressive visually.

Theoretically, this is the both of both worlds. An ev mode that basically transcends gas woes of the majority of everyday commutes or city driving, while still offering a super efficient hybrid mode that enables drivers to take long trips when appropriate.

Of course, they are expensive. If I had the means, I would have two.

I'd like to know what everybody thinks about them.

I saw my first one as well in South Carolina. Was brown. I thought it looked great.

Although I was doing 60 mph and it blew by me like I wasn't there. ): The ferrari 458 italia that later passed me was going slower than it! I wonder if they realize how much more they can get by doing a little planning?

EM does have a thread or three about Volt where people vigorously expressed themselves.

Maybe not so well when you're looking for info about Volt the car, on a forum with a lot of electricity-related threads.
