Ontario is offering $10,000 to anyone buying a Volt. Actually they didn't say a "Volt" but they set it up in such a way that the Volt is just about the only car that fits the program. Even the President of Toyota, who expects to have a similar plug-in hybrid vehicle available soon, said that the market should determine which cars the public wants to buy. He feels that this type of program will result in sales of vehicles that the buyers really don't want.

Can you imagine driving this thing in the winter? At least it would start OK but running the heater/defroster sure would cut into the gas mileage.
