interesting facts and comparison, thanks to the OP for the work.
I would like to point some variables that may be factor, but it doesn't change my believe the volt will prevail and dominate:
* prius didn't have much of a competition in the first year (as someone else pointed out).
* volt can be competing with prius cars where at one point Prius may be flat-lined...the volt competition will pull a negative trend on the Prius where a potential buyer may choose a Volt.
* the volt's incentives is substantially larger than the competing Prius--making a stronger negative pull on the Prius.
* will there be enough volt's to get the Tipping Point of consumers before the incentives all run out?
* Iran's president gets exponentially crazier each year! Thus, affecting gas prices.
