I'll admit to being in group #2:
So you see, I've come to expect longevity and reliabity from my Chevy vehicles. I'll expect no less from the Volt, and I suspect that I'll keep it until they pry my drivers license out of my wallet in 20 or 25 years. At that point I want a good hot rodded electric wheel chair.
Further, I can only assume and hope that GM is addressing battery life and any possible replacment affordability issues as they design the Volt. That's because I tend to keep my cars for a VERY VERY long time compared to the average American consumer. I usually purchase used vehicles because the overall value is better. But I have bought 3 new vehicles in my life. Those were/are, a 73 Corvette, a 79 Camaro, and a 04 Colorado. Of those I still own and drive 2 of them, the 73 Vette and the 04 Colorado. I did sell the Camaro after driving it for 16 years.
