1. 2010 Chevrolet Volt

Here is why the Chevy Volt can beat up pretty much every other car on this list. One, it's actually destined for a dealership next year. Sure that new concept car that runs on residual electricity produced in the earth's atmosphere following lightning storms over the tropics sounds awesome, but it will never see the light of day -- the Chevy Volt will. Second, if your daily drive is less than 40 miles -- and it is for 70 percent of Americans -- you might never hear the sound of a gasoline engine again.
