We'll see.

Now... how many people here on GMI are gonna bitch and moan about the batteries being Korean??
I'm betting an MSRP of 25K nearly loaded. I don't think GM is going to have a lot of options on this car. With oil at near $100 bbl, and no signs of decreased demand or increased supply, $4.00-5.00 gas is very reasonable by 2010. 100K volts will fly off the lot if gas is $4 a gallon.

Also, did anyone else catch Epsilon I is being used for validation? Thats huge.
I bet the VOLT will be a one generation model, as GM could make e-flex an option on everything that uses Epsilon II and Delta II once the VOLT proves itself. Then, whats the point of the VOLT.
