THAT WAS FAST: CNN says Chevrolet Volt tech is “obsolete” compared to Toyota Prius Plug-in. “It all boils down to price. Stickered with a base price of $41,000, the Volt ain’t cheap. Pricing for the Prius Plug-In, though not officially confirmed, is expected to start at approximately $28,000, meaning that it will likely undercut the Volt’s MSRP by more than $10,000. Yes, rebates alter that number, but CNN finds it difficult to justify the hefty premium for what amounts to less than 30 miles of added electric-only range. Do you agree?”
