Just curious. I kinda have a crush on that car.

No jokes or mockery, please (PJ, that means you)

I saw on yesterday for sale at the Chevy Dealer (Chuck Olsen?) in Shoreline. I was driving by, so I could be wrong, but I think I saw a black one.

Thanks, guys. Bad on me for not doing a search before asking the question. I see on Autotrader that there are five available at dealers in a 200 mile radius. MSRP in the 50's, wow.

50's huh? I'd probably pick up a decent 993 daily driver, and 6000 gallons of gasoline. But that's just me

I think I've seen one around, I keep getting the Ford Taurus and Chevy Volt mixed up, they look really similar, everytime I think I see a Volt I double check and see it's a Taurus. I saw a Nissan Leaf the other day, seems like the Volt is the better car though.

There's one still on display at the Chevy dealership in North Bend. It's black, and I believe the sticker was about $47k after markup.

Looks like the one in North Bend is $51.9k. Must be the "feel good" premium.

How about get a 996 GT3 and slap a lightning bolt sticker on it, then commute via bus and play on the weekends?

The MSRP is only in the mid 40's right? It is just all of the independent dealers that Chevy cannot control who are sticking it to the early adopters. Don't forget that with these are compatable with the $7500 tax credit, but I am sure that will figure into the resale of them as well though.

Ha ha on a side note have you all seen the stories of dealers selling the cars to themselves and then taking the $7500 tax credit. They then just sell them used and keep the money...
