Rick Wagoner doesn't need to do ANYTHING to convince me except deliver the vehicle as promised. A price differential of $30K to $48K is a significant consideration, for me and for others. If I could afford $48K for a new vehicle today, I'd probably buy a Prius and take a chance with a PHEV conversion by Hybrids Plus. If I can afford the $48K in 30 months, and my choices are Chevy Volt or Prius PHEV, I'm going to test drive them both and carefully consider the choices. If my budget is closer to $30K to $35K, and the Volt is closer to $48K, I'm probably going to go with the PHEV Prius.
