I guess I'll need to get smaller friends- there doesn't look to be much rear headroom. (Common in a lot of new cars.)
I agree that the Volt is a big risk, but I don't know why everyone is acting like GM has ALL of its eggs in one basket. Both the 40+MPG Chevy Cruze and BAS+ should be around by the time the Volt is in full production.
I've read that BAS+ is a lot better than BAS, and will bring their mild hybrids to the value point that GM was hoping to hit with gen 1 BAS.
Actually, BAS+ might make a perfect compliment to the turbo 1.4L engine if and when it's placed in heavier vehicles. It could give it some extra punch off the line.
