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

No one should have to pay more than 20,000 for a plug in vehicle. We dont have time to go the typical route of selling innovation to the highest bidder. This is war. WAR! the arabs and russians and venezuelans and communists and muslims have declared war on our economy. Even our own owl companies have declared war on our economy. And so. like in war, the innovations go to the people, the army and the soldiers who fight that war. We are fighting for our survival as a country and if GM thinks it is going to sell us 40,000 plug in electric cars, then lets take the executives at GM and deport them to CHINA. We need 15-20 thousand dollar cars and even cheaper for americans to commute to work at jobs that pay less and less. Dont make the fat cats richer and fatter. Throw the bums out. OUT! GM get the hell out of america and go to the communists who you love and supply slave labor without benefits. Wake up america. You are being enslaved.
