33,000 Sign Up to Buy Plug-In Chevy Volt, But They Won't Pay Full Price

33,000 Line Up to Buy Volt, But GM May Be Asking for Too MuchThere is some good news and bad news for General Motors (GM). The struggling auto manufacturer seems to be resting all of its hopes for survival on its plug-in hybrid Volt, due to be released in 2010. The good news? Over 33,000 have already signed up on an unofficial waiting list to get their hand on the vehicle. The bad news: The average price these very overzealous fans are willing to pay: $31,299.02, much less than the anticipated $40,000 GM sticker price.

GM is going to have to drum up significantly more interest from consumers with deeper pockets if it hopes its much hyped hybrid will save the company. [Source: AP via Propeller ]
