I guess it is going to come down to the price of the car.
I keep cars until they are much older than that and expect to keep at least two of the cars I own now more than 10 years, one of them bought new.

However, I'm way too cheap to be an early adopter.
I do own a 1st gen Blu-Ray player, but I bought it on Ebay for $150.

I don't expect early Volts to be bought to save money... they'll have enormous green and techno-geek cachet and that's what'll sell them.
