If a list compiled by a Chevy Volt enthusiast is accurate, GM is going to sell a eco-friendly boat load of Chevy Volts. Lyle Dennis, a New York neurologist with way to much time, gathered the 34,776 (at last count) on his website GM-Volt.com over the last year. The one glaring issue though, is that the average price they were willing to pay for the GM wunderkind worked out to $31k. Rumor is, GM is hoping to sell the vehicle for $40k — easy math.

So maybe not all of those signatures will buy a Volt, but chances are, a lot of tree-hugging, deep-pocketed motor heads are going to have one plugged into their garage real soon.
