As far as it being a "greener" vehicle, I am not sure - but a used Civic or other small car will in most cases beat out this car for $35K-$40K @glbl

Yes, only water. :) (Google Stanley Meyer for instance -- there are many others too) While it definitely is nice to see auto makers think "outside of the box" with vehicles like the Prius or the Volt, I'm disappointed that the car manufacturers won't give any of the viable water-fuel cell ideas the time of day. Of course, the oil industry and our government won't hear of it either...at least not until they figure out how to make large profits from water. :'( Water is the most abundant source of hydrogen on the face of the planet, and it's completely renewable...think about it. Back on topic, though. All in all, I think the volt is a pretty cool car. It's a lot better looking than the Prius too! :) Chevy should work on that price tag, though. @Tippy & @Chevy Volt Fan

Maybe they should measure this cars' efficiency in Miles per Kilowatt. Most people's electricity is provided by coal power plants. While at least we don't have to get coal from the middle east, it doesn't mean a whole lot for the environment. I wonder hoe much electricity it will actually use.

I drive a 2001 Nissan Sentra that is 100% paid for. It gets 28-32 MPG on the highway. I could buy A LOT of gas for my gar for $40,000. The price point to really reach a significant portion of the market is going to have to come down to well below $30,000. The other issue is that this car will compete with the Toyota Prius which already has a large market share and the Toyota name behind it. Price for a Prius, 20k, 20k cheaper than the Volt. Think they will sell many? I doubt it at that price. Here is my frustration with these cars. I drive a 2001 Nissan Sentra that is 100% paid for. It gets 28-32 MPG on the highway.
