Chevy Volt

This is the kind of healthy debate I was looking for. Here's my take: I drive about 7 miles to work every day, which takes me about 15 minutes. I'd love to take the bus, but that would take me over an hour (maybe that's the real problem - unless you're downtown public transit sucks!)

A Volt would be perfect for me; I wouldn't even be putting too much load on the grid when I charge it thanks to my 14 mile round trip. Here's the problem: my daily driver is a 1991 Honda Accord. It cost me $1500 3 years ago, it runs like a champ and hasn't had any issues in the time that I've owned it. Who's going to hook me up with a Volt for $1500? I think it will be quite a while before I'm driving a plug in electric car.
