I didn't say it.

wow... he just said what a bunch of us are thinking. Not many people realize that a prius is causing more damage to the environment than the suburban its cockblocking on the highway by staying slow in the left lane...

 

A person from Audi calling something overpriced? Really?

 

The Audi prez is just jealous....or just wants to push diesel. He's right about the $40k price, though. There's a tax credit for buying one, so the actual OTD price is not $40k.

 

Personally I've never been all that much of a fan of the Volt (or hybrids for that matter) but he has some good points. Nonetheless, I think it will sell. It looks pretty damn good for a hybrid, and no doubt there'll be quite a few people out there who want the newest, coolest hybrid.

I still think that especially for some of the upper class citizens, hybrids are simply a status symbol to drive on the weekdays so they don't feel so bad about driving their S65 or Lamborghini on the weekends.

I still would take a diesel over a hybrid anyday. Yeah, its bad that the manufacturing process of the battery is harmful to the environment and all, but its more about the driving experience itself. Starting up a Prius and driving it feels almost unnatural. Its a nice car for the price but completely soulless.

so the money you save in gas is pretty much going towards the purchase of the car. 40k?

bomboclart!!!!!!!!!

 

+1

 

way overpriced.

 

yup.

also, the cost premium negates the savings in gas - only to leave you with the inconvenience of having an electric car. the only justification i see in purchase is to have zero emissions. and how many environmentalists could afford a 40k car? i wouldnt be surprised if most sales are for social figures in need of an image, i.e. celebs. fine by me - they are heavily taxed and will be contributing to the federal prop up of the the program. just a recycling of idiocracy.
