DETROIT ? General Motors Co said Tuesday it has begun taking orders for the electric-powered Chevrolet Volt at a $41,000 starting price before tax credits, a sticker price $5,000 higher than the top-selling sedan from its luxury Cadillac brand. GM also said it would lease the much-anticipated Volt at $350 per month for three years with $2,500 as a down payment and promote that lease rate as the vehicle launches in a handful of U.S. markets starting with California. GM launched the Volt development project four years ago, in part to shake an association with gas-guzzling trucks and to show it could compete with the likes of Toyota Motor Corp on hybrid technology.

 More catering to the rich. A $41k electric car does absolutely fucking nothing for the average person, who won't be buying it. Way to go GM.

I think it can sell for this price.
Also, I consider this fact : When something is priced very low this can make a lot of
people avoid it because, for one, it's "cheap shit", for two, "if it's too good to be true..."
