$20,000 over sticker for Chevy Volt is simply supply and demand

"So you think the Chevrolet Volt electric car will cost too much? Tell
that to the Chevy dealer who has already decided to charge $20,000
over the sticker price.

That's right. Months before the first Volt lands on a showroom floor,
there's enough excitement that the dealer -- who earns a living
calculating what the market will bear -- is charging nearly 50% more
than General Motors' asking price for the revolutionary car.

If that's any yardstick, the 2011 Volt is drastically underpriced.
Supply and demand, baby. It's the free enterprise system."

his ass at random.

What's amazing is the dealer admited to it. Nothing else is remarkable
or surprising IMHO.

My question is what any of this has to do with toyota in the least?

--
(setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) )

If I want an electric car, I will convert my 1948 Willys Jeep.Actually,
those old World War Two Jeeps (Willys and Ford Jeeps) were rated by the
Pentagon as 1/4 ton trucks.

On the web, Brian's Military Jeeps
cuhulin

It's still a Chevy. By the way john, there is no way you could afford a
Chevy or a Toyota! LOL!

And foolish, 'ecology minded' Liberal Early Adopters will gladly pony up
the extra money. But, none of the excess goes to GM, it stays in the
pocket of the dealer who makes a nice fat profit on it.

The owner of that dealership must be a Republican. Or, maybe just a
hypocrite Democrat along the liines of Rangle, Kerry, Gore, et al.

I wouldn't buy one at half price.. The 40 mile wonder.. :/
Doesn't go far enough to do me any good..
I really don't see how they will sell very many of them.
A few moovee stars and tree huggers might buy a few,
but for the general driver they strike me as a fairly
useless vehicle. And you gotta plug them doggies in
somewhere.
