@sleepy: how green electric cars are depends on when the charging is done. Besides, this is more about brand confidence than anything. Lately, I can only trust myself with a Toyota/Honda.

@LeAnne: what do you mean the program has been scuttled? Part of the reason why I am asking about the Volt is that I would like to learn more about the vehicle.

(pricey for a chevy)
It looks like too much like a Camry(which look boring)
the concept looked better
technology that has already been done

Why does GM think this is going to save them! The Camaro might, but this is not for sure!

For those of you that don’t know about it, it is called a "plug-in hybrid". Plugging it in is optional. By plugging it in the wall socket at night, it recharges the batteries. This results in the first 40 miles being used entirely by batteries, meaning if your morning commute is less than 20 miles each way, you would never use a drop of gasoline. After 40 miles, the gasoline motor takes over propeling the car and recharging the batteries at the same time. In a 60 mile trip, you will probably average 150 mpg. If you do not choose to plug in the car, it has a range of about 640 miles on it’s 12 gallon tank. 0 to 60 in 8 seconds, 160 hp, 236 lbs torque, top speed of 120 mph.
