At $40K or more there is no way normal people could afford to buy the
Volt. GM must be intending for the Volt to be DOA at that price unless
they get their welfare from Congress. Volt=EV-1=DOA
GM Seek Tax Break to Lower the Chevrolet Volt's $40,000 Expected MRSP
http://tinyurl.com/4yowha
The Chevrolet Volt could arguably be the most important model in GM's
history, but the high development and production costs are driving the
base price for the model skywards. A price of $40,000 is currently being
suggested by sources close to the project, but considering its chief
rival – the Toyota Prius carries a base MRSP price of just $21,500,
those boys in Detroit have got a challenge ahead of them.
In order to battle this extreme price, GM will look for a bit of help
from the US taxpayers by requesting for Congress to create a new tax
credit for "extended-range electric vehicles" which would include the
plug-in Volt. This could knock off up to $7,000 off the sticker price
and put it back in the price range of the average joe.
Sources have stated that initial sales will be between 10,000 and 30,000
units in the first year which is likely to grow exponentially after the
first few years once production is in full flow. If the Volt is an out
and out success there is a very real possibility of worldwide sales
topping 500,000 per year by around 2015 as consumers look to avoid the
sky-high fuel prices.
Originally displayed in concept form at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, the
Chevrolet Volt is powered by an electric motor running off lithium
batteries which can run for about 40 miles, after which the batteries
are recharged by a small gasoline engine or can be plugged in to an
electrical outlet.
The image above shows the original teaser image of the production Volt
which was released late last year and check out the additional images on
the right for the concept version.

So selling Volt for $20.000 each and get $20.000 from the government
for each would save GM?
Lets say they sell 1.000.000 cars that way.
That would mean $20.000.000.000 from taxpayers to pay for GM managers
bonuses
Prius has sold 1.000.000 cars without these kinds of funding.
Why does not GM just close down and let the government pay the
managers?
Why bother producing cars? |

Try reading it again. That isn't what the article suggests at all.
But with your limited comprehension I am not surprised that
this is how you understand it. >> Stay informed about: GM Seek Tax Break to Lower the Chevrolet Volt's $40,000 Ex.. |

Lamborghini and Bentley should get tax breaks too, so I can afford to buy
one of those too. After all, they would be good for my self esteem so they
are NEEDED. >> Stay informed about: GM Seek Tax Break to Lower the Chevrolet Volt's $40,000 Ex.. |

It is not unusual for normal people in other countries to purchase cars that
seem
quite expensive to the American. They pay more and longer.
In cases like these, quality, durability, and economy are foremost in the
buying
decision. Those cars have to last for a goodly number of years at
reasonable
service costs.
Cars are not traded every few years, although companies may well lease cars
for their
middle and upper executives.
Whether the traditional American lifestyle will continue to support the
automobile
culture we have had in the past remains to be seen. Gasoline at over $4.00
per
gallon shocks and frightens people, but it CAN go much higher.
I dont want to sound like a prophet of doom, but we may find that
considerable
corrections will have to be made in our American lifestyle. >> Stay informed about: GM Seek Tax Break to Lower the Chevrolet Volt's $40,000 Ex.. |

Part of the problem are the distances involved in this country. An example
I've used before is that you can drive 800 miles in one direction in
California and still be in the State of California. Drive 800 miles in one
direction in Europe and you go through 5 different countries. We became a
car-oriented society because of the sheer size of our continent. Also, one
need only stand on a freeway overpass and notice how many of the cars
passing have ONLY one person in them.

Everything you say is very true..In many foreign countries, the high cost of
owning and maintaining an auto is offset by having effective and reasonably
competitive public transportation systems.
We dont have a good national network of public transportation, nor would
people use it anyway if they can use their automobiles more cheaply.
Air travel has been a real bargain for us, but it out of the reach of some
people. The train is a joke. Buses are not much cheaper than air travel
in many cases. I dont know where we are heading, but it is going to get
more
expensive to get there. >> Stay informed about: GM Seek Tax Break to Lower the Chevrolet Volt's $40,000 Ex.. |

When one considers ALL if the Prius' on the lot a one local Toyota dealer
have a sticker price of around $27,500 or more and the dealers are adding
smoke and mirror packages of $1,500 to $2,000, a Volt at $40,000, three
years for now, does nto seem out of line.
Why should the US taxpayer NOT help GM, an American federal tax paying
corporation, to get the Volt sales up and running? Don't for get the feds
were subsiding Prius sales with a rebate since day one, to help the sales of
an imported car sold by Japanese corporation that does not pay a penny in US
corporate income taxes.

What is the color of the sky in your world? Prius had a federal tax credit
from day one. In additon some states offered a rebate, as well.

Several years ago I was stranded in a major American city because of bad
flying conditions. I had to take a 300 mile trip by Greyhound. If you
think you will want to travel that way in the future I suggest you try it
today. If ever need to do so, I well rent a car LOL

When I travel around Europe I prefer to travel by train.
I usually go at night.
There are very comfortable kabins with good beds and shower.
On board are restaurants and you can bring your car along for the
ride.
I really am fed up with airports and delays.
Also much better to arrive in the morning at the destination
refreshed.
If I need more than one night I usually make a stopover in some nice
city during the day and then take the next night train.
The new trains are really comfortable and fast.
Beats driving long distances. >> Stay informed about: GM Seek Tax Break to Lower the Chevrolet Volt's $40,000 Ex.. |
