haven't we already had this debate.... We can't answer your question...

obvioulsy the Prius is a hit... Hybrids are a hit. the green movement is going strong.... Hell you can get a hybrid tahoe...

So there are indicators, but the volt and the leaf require a completely different mind set... we don't know if they will be successful. and the politicians have to look like they care so they offer incentives to buy cars like the leaf and volt becasue it currently aligns with their political position....

other than that I don't know why they have to incentivise a car that should be in demand....

you've made it pretty clear that you think these cars a gonna flop. Time will tell.
