The 2011 Chevrolet Volt may very well be a game changer for Chevrolet and GM in general.

It's a proper car that doesn't feel like a golf cart to drive, and offers all the safety features we've come to expect from regular cars over the years. On the other, it's expensive.

Unless you've been living in a remote shack in the remote wilderness of Northern Alaska you'll be familiar with the television adverts we all suffered in the 80s which started with the immortal line "Four out of five dentists..."
