How will the VOLT ride? Will some people buy it because of the ride or will we all buy it to use less gas.I hope we like the ride better because that would make it easier for GM to sell them.

ride vs handling

If it has excellent handling it can have a hard ride and be like a sports car.
If it has average handling it needs a soft comfortable ride, like a Buick.

Bob Lutz seemed to enjoy his ride in the test mule. The Volt should have high torque right off the line as well as good handling on corners due to the low centre of gravity from the battery packs. It won't exactly be a racecar but I'm guessing it'll be a fun ride. Hell, just knowing I'm driving on electricity would be excitement enough for me.
