Again. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/gm\">General Motors<\/a> spokesman Dave Darovitz confirmed to Green Car Reports that GM CEO Ed Whitacre&#8217;s recent statement that the Volt would be priced &#8220;in the low 30s&#8221; and be profitable was misleading\/inaccurate. The reality is that the car will cost around $40,000, and a possible $7,500 tax credit from the federal government would move the price into the low 30s. Specifically, Darovitz confirmed to GCR that, GM &#8220;has not officially announced final Volt pricing, a price in the low 30&#8217;s after a $7,500 tax credit is in the range of possibilities.&#8221; We knew that.
