I came across the Wikipedia page for the Toyota Prius. It's interesting to see the sales trajectory of the car from its introduction to current. The first year it was sold in North America, 2000, only 5,800 were sold. 2001 saw 16,000 sell. Of course, the real bump in sales came with the introduction of the second-generation hatchback model, more than doubling previous year's sales.
The only reason I bring this up is for those that say GM's initial sales goals are too modest, and that not enough are being sold or will be sold to make much of a difference in the overall market. Just be patient. In time, I think the Volt, and other EREV models will comprise a significant segment of the automotive market.
