just got the new issue of motor trend where they got a slew of hate mail for making the Volt car of the year. Are people daffy? can they not see what's going on with oil? I don't want an electric car, but i'm not oblivious to reality

Very slowly. Only in select launch markets until the end of next year, when it should be available nationwide.
I think what a lot of people don't realize is that the electrification of the automobile is already beginning. I'm not saying that tomorrow everyone will switch to EVs, but if you look at what the automakers are working on, it's definitely heading that direction.
Look at Buick for example, the 2012 LaCrosse will come standard with the eAssist mild hybrid system, boosting its fuel economy to 37 MPG highway. That's an almost 4000 pound car achieving 37 MPG. Plus, the system can assist the ICE with an extra 15 HP and 79 lb/ft of torque instantly at launch. Regal will get eAssist as well.
