To prove that point the Prius is a HUGELY popular car and outsells most cars in its class...its a hybrid but you can buy a version for 20k...if the volt was under 25k it may very well have been somewhat of a success...it was just too damn expensive for the average american. It was in lexus country
True ... and much of what is being said about the Volt now was being said about the Prius when it first came out: too expensive, too small, too ugly.... And if Toyota had listened to all the naysayers they would have lost out on a huge success. Hopefully GM will be as smart because the Volt has some of the best tech out there.
"We are not idling the plant due to poor Volt sales. We're gearing up for production of the new Impala," Chevy spokesman David Darovitz said in an email.
