And yet I see a lot of "average" people around here driving big jacked up diesel trucks who don't do any pulling or other type of work.
The truck is a social status symbol to them, and they pay $20-30K over the cost of a regular truck to get it. The idea of the volt just doesn't seem that outlandish to me, especially as gas gets closer to $4 a gallon and electricity seems to be going down due to low natural gas prices.

The only problem is that the average person isn't rich, and it's very unlikely that the Volt would have ever been affordable for them. As for the green factor, it's only an illusion. Heck, even rich people with money to burn weren't buying the Volt because they know it's a red herring.
