This is a car I am actually excited about and fully expect to help push the cost of this technology down as to be able to go into far more versions of auto's. Then we can see another large jumpin fuel efficiency and reduced oil consumption.

We made fun of the Lexus Prius, here comes the Cadillac Volt. I suspect just like the CT200h sales will be low.

My question-will it sell?

The problem with the Lexus hybrid only models is that they weren't proper Lexuses in looks or materials. Even the MKZ Hybrid has a much richer feeling interior to it and is just as "hybrid" as the CT.

If Cadillac puts an XTS level interior in there, it will be fine.

As long as it looks like this, I don't think sales will be a problem:

This is so true, if the ELR looks like the concept, I will be adding another Caddy t the 3 I already own.

I am the kind of customer GM/Cadillac needs to keep happy as I spend money on cars. 2004 SRX, 2005 CTS, 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum.

Was going to buy a CTS V coupe, but the wife wanted a small AWD suv, so the 2008 Trailblazer SS joined the family. I do have to say I love this little SUV. Sweet Ride.

Even with a great interior, it is still a slow electric car, that has heavy batteries and probably won't handle like a Cadillac should. However it is still less lame than a Ferarri hybrid.

Wait, this is news? I'm not trying to be snarky here...obviously I'm not around as much as I used to be, and I haven't been following things too closely, but when I checked the Cadillac site last week I noticed the ELR listed under "Future Vehicles" along with the XTS and ATS...NOT under "Concept Vehicles."

Do you see anything on Cadillac's webpage confirming what model year the ELR will be introduced in?

That's why this is news.

OK, got it. Again, wasn't trying to be snarky...I'd just had an "Oh, so they greenlit it" moment a few days ago, and then saw this here. I figured if it was on the Cadillac site, it wasn't breaking. MY2014? Cool. That's right around the corner...

No worries. I know you were just wondering, so if I somehow laced my earlier response with verbal vitriol, it wasn't intended. I don't mean to pull the "I was cranky" card, but that was my first post of the day and I had literally just crawled out of bed to check on the site and for any news alerts to post.
