Volt's technology is significantly more advanced than a 2010 Prius, and should cost more.
It's that kind of ego-maniacal thinking in the glass towers of GM that lead to it's downfall. What about considering "what the market will bear"? Never thought of that, eh?

Heck...the $40k price of admission is minor compared to insane depreciation rate that puppy will provide. I'm guessing a nice, low mileage 1 year old Volt will pull in about $19k...and after 2 years?...I'm betting on $8k. Just my guess. . .
