Holden Volt - A shocking price!!

[Wraith]

You would pay the premium if it was a premium car in that sector/market, which it isn't. Audi, BMW, Merc, etc.

Your right ! this is what it will come down to for most people in the decision process for a new car in that price range...

Fail

Yep same thought came to my mind when reading those numbers above, those running cost comparisons are useless IMO because they don't take into account 'everything outlayed' for one car vs the other, it's a fuel usage comparison only once you factor in maintanance, consumable replacement costs, acquisition costs, etc. etc. etc. I don't think the Volt will stack up that favourably at all, hence not surprised at all it ain't selling...

Just let all the greenies and other like minded people buy into these and keep caughing up the public funds needed to pave the way forward with these types of vehicles
