Maybe I'm missing it, but I didn't see where it said it was for sale, I just saw an MSRP listing. That's what the lease values are calculated on. GM only offered it for lease so that they could prevent competetors from buying it. Those leases had to be turned in to GM earlier this year, since GM discontinued the EV1 line.
As far as GM developing more hybrid power, it's a smart move for them to do it with their truck line first, and then for their car lineup. The GM car divisions don't need as much fuel economy help as the truck side does, since the trucks make up a huge fraction of total sales. Once the trucks get into shape with fuel economy, then those technologies can be adapted to cars easier than car technology can be adapted to trucks.
