Nope, some people will buy anything as long as it says "Toyota" on it.... like they said in the MSNBC show, People bought millions of Corollas but only a few thousand of the sister Chevy Nova/Prizm.. same car different name... Same with the Matrix/Vibe, people buy Lots of Matrix but not many of the Vibe..
I bet the same would hold true for the Volt, If it was a Toyota, people will buy millions of them, but since it will say Chevy it will probably not go over.. Sad but true.
Another thing, many people that buy the prius are snobbish and want everyone to think they are the ones that are going to save the planet. I have even had them give me dirty looks when I am driving my El Camino...
