The volt would be a joke in Canada. They are planning to start selling it in Canada in second half of 2011. With Canada's cold weather there is no way in hell that volt is even going to cope shows you how dumb GM is to market such a car in Canada. Even the hippies in Vancouver cannot afford the ticket price on top of the HST tax here and BC is about the only province that volt can survive here even then it does only 60mpg that doesn't even get you to the store and back on the heavy traffic in the largest provinces of Canada that would be Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary no way the volt will sell in Canada it would be a very poor showing that is for sure in Canada. Volt will not be able to beat the Nissan Leaf and GM has to see that and lower their price tag on that volt cost or not. Yes there is a race between hybrids and electric however the hybrid is well liked as it runs on both I do not think the electric will make much of a splash for a while. JMHO
