A better hybrid than the Chevy Volt?

If the Volt had 100 mile electric only range (w. NO sneaky gas engine coupling) and could seat 5 I would get it over a Prius. But since the oil money investors in GM would never allow this engine specification, not really a worry for Toyota.

Technology is just not there at this point for this kind of range in a PHEV - both from bulk and cost POV.

The Volt is far more fun to drive than the Prius.

That has to count for something.

Well if were daydreaming about "fun" then I'll take a Tesla.
