A Volt priced at $30k makes sense. The technology involved, and the MPG return, are worth more money than a typical hybrid. If tax incentives get it there then it might have a chance.

Simply having the technology isn't enough, it has to make business sense. Honda only leased a few hydrogen cars because they were too expensive, it didn't make economic sense. You mention a Lexus, but a Chevy isn't a Lexus. If given the choice between the two at the same price, what do you think the average American would choose? Especially considering our current cheap gas.
