The Mashable article I linked to says the following:
Quote:It will take Voyager 1 another 300 years to reach the beginning of the Oort cloud and another 30,000 years or so to exit. It will be 40,000 years before Voyager 1 reaches the nearest star, Gliese 445, and adopts its gravitational pull.
Bolding mine. Given that the Oort cloud is part of the Solar System, one must assume that just prior to the moment of exit, Voyager will still technically be in the Solar System.
