I think I might want a Prius plug-in when it becomes available in 2012. From what I have heard, it is a full hybrid the same as the current version but they added a much higher capacity battery and the ability to be charged by plug-in. It will have only a 12.5 mile electric-only range but it's supposed to cost ~$12K less than the Chevy Volt.
I could see buying that. Obviously, the trade-off for the lower cost is burning some gas on many trips--but still at 50+MPG--but you would never have to worry about running out of juice as long as you have gas in the tank or a gas station nearby.
