This is what I posted on the blog site
=====================================
I think the question about how much are you willing to pay is impossible to answer.
The question is like asking how much are you willing to pay for a bottle of wine. Without telling me if the wine is the stuff you buy in a supermarket with a metal twist off cap, or is it a fine premium rare vintage wine bought at a fine wine auction. The answer will vary according to quality.
I did give a answer of $70,000 because that is what I will pay for a car with all the luxury features my Lexus GS450H has. But without knowing if the Volt will have an automatic retracting rear window sun shade, memory seats with 3 memories on each side, leather seats, rear view TV back up camera, key-less starter, A/C with driver and passenger controls and all the features I expect in a car. I will pay $70,000 or more. But if it turns out to have cloth manual adjust seats, manual control A/C I doubt I will pay much more than $25,000.

The Lexus I now drive and the Lexus I had before that is and was a hybrid. I want a Volt and I am willing to pay $70,000 or more if it has all or most of the features my Lexus now has. I don't drive that much and the cost of gas isn't a problem for me. I want a plug in because of issues of national security, I don't want to see my money I pay for gas sent to a country(s) that want to destroy us.
PS I also don't believe global warming is caused by man, it is caused by the natural ebb and flow of the sun's activity
