I just read an article in the Atlantic about the Chevy Volt.
I am - and am not - a fan of the Volt.
The Good: It's not just a hybrid, it's a plug-in hybrid. It's a game-changer with a focus on electricity.
The Bad: It's still a hybrid, not really a purely electric car.
(To be fair, it's not like other hybrids, or even like other plug-in hybrids. Other PHEVs are gas-driven cars with an electrical assist to improve mileage. The Volt is an electricity-driven car with a gas generator that recharges the battery.)
The Ugly: GM can't seem to decide if it's a family sedan or the batmobile.
And, of course, it's not available until 2010 at the earliest.

I dunno, i kinda like it... Besides, when did "looks like the Batmobile" become a downside for you?
When I gave up on becoming Batman, and when I started beginning to look for a family sedan.
Also, if wanted a car that looks like the Batmobile then there's already the Tesla Roadster, which I quite like.
Bruce Wayne could actually afford a Tesla Roadster...
