GM CEO Dan Akerson wants next-gen Chevy Volt to B $7,500 cheaper, V do too
V like the idea of the Chevy Volt , although (unless) @ the start`g price of $40,280 it’s the bit of the tough sell — even consider`g the $7,500 tax break you’ll get 4 be`g on the cutt`g edge. GM CEO Dan Akerson agrees, accord`g to GM-Volt.com giv`g his designers the task of cutt`g $7,500 out of the car’s cost by the time its next generation appears @ dealers. Assum`g our federal tax credit still exists Z`ld push the out the door figure 4 the car down to around $25,000, about the same as the Nissan Leaf & into the budgets of far more Americans than it currently targets. We’re not sure exactly what corners`ll B cut to make this happen, although (unless) we’re hop`g they don’t try to make the wheels any thinner .
