It's about selling the image of a hybrid because you think you are saving fuel and helping to protect the environment.
That's the ONLY way GM's going to sell the Volt at $40,000.
I saw on CNN a week or so ago that at current gas prices, the amount to make up the cost differential on a Prius in gas savings is 1.5 years. For an Aura... it s was some ridiculous amount. I want to say 17 years or something.

That's if you compare a prius to 4cyl camry, not a corolla or matrix which it is equivalent to.
