The all-new Hollywood status symbol is here! The Chevy Volt.

For a mere 41 grand, you too can seem like you care about the environment. Sure it’s slick and has zero-tailpipe emissions*, but try getting stuck in rush hour traffic with your 40-mile charge life.

*As long as you don’t run out of juice. If you do, you can engage the dirty gasoline powered engine and go for another 300 miles.

The US Government loves its new car and wants everyone to buy one. That’s why the car comes with a $7,500 tax credit if you take the plunge. The only problem is that if you do not have a federal tax liability of at least 7500 bucks, you’re S.O.L.

So, just like other forms of today’s alternative energy, you need a ton of money to shell out so save a little of it.

At least you’ll be able to condescendingly sneer at your neighbors as you drive by in you new Volt.
