We've known for some time that the 2011 Chevrolet Volt would go on sale in late 2010, but it turns out that's California only, at least initially. It seems GM is keen to take the fight right to the Prius, the unofficial state car, and rebuild its fortunes in a state where it struggles to sell its cars.
A nationwide rollout for the Volt will follow once the car reaches full production in early 2011.

CA seems to get everything first.

How is it taking it's fight to the Prius? The Prius is $25000. The Volt is $32500 AFTER the government gives you a $7500 incentive (don't get me started)! GM should have at least badged this thing as a Buick, or something that could come close to commanding such a pricetag. So this is progress?

zoomzoomn: New technology, specifically new technology made in America, costs a lot of $. When production of these batteries increases, and they find cheaper ways of manufacturing them, the price will go down.

^ suppose what you said is true, what make you think the price of the Prius will not go down accordingly?
and why is it that new tech specifically made in the USA will cost more $?
that's strike # 2...

^ Nearly anything developed or manufactured in the U.S. costs more now, due to our over regulatory, highly litigious, union thug bossed workforce. And we have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. All of these factors are driving business out of the U.S. and into foreign countries where it can be accomplished with far more freedom and less intervention. Result - markets such as China and India are booming, while ours has been stagnating. And there's no end in sight, as the government that's been instrumental in creating and furthering this situation along is proposing even more of the same.

^suppose what you said is true, you will agree that U.S. manufacturing and industrial tech isn't competitive globally?

^ In some areas of manufacturing, we are less cost competive than we should be. Not because we can't be, as America has traditionally been a land of unlimited opportunity due to the freedoms we've had. But those freedoms have been whittled away over time, such as restrictions on our people and industries which make competing in a global market much more difficult.
