60,000 Chevy Volt's In It's First Year?

An inside source from General Motors suggests that they hope to have 60,000 Chevy Volts out in it's first year of production. Could this really happen? Lets take a look....

• The Toyota Prius only sold 30,000 units in it's first year. Although gas prices, are twice as high now...
• A123 Systems, the supplier GM chose to make the batteries, has no experience in producing high volumes of batteries.
• Many might spring for the car to avoid pain at the pump.
• The under $30,000 price tag is inviting

So what do you think? Can the Chevy Volt make it into production? Can it sell 60,000 units in one year? You're the consumer. It's your call.
