If you think you can, show somebody how & get rich. You know not, of what you speak. However, and more importantly, the Prius and Volt have little in common, and it's the development of the whole car that is so costly... the plug-in nature has been a part of the concept from the beginning, NOT just an add-on. Lastly, the Prius is a piece of crap when it comes to actually driving the thing (handling, thrust/power, even simple comfort... all stink!!!,)for any length of time. My sister has had one for over 18 mos. now. (She's been trying to get rid of it since before it was a year old, it was such a dog.) Except for the "isn't that cool" factor of the first few months, even she (who was very happy w/ an underpowered Saturn, before the Prius) can't find anything good to say about it. She'll gladly pay for gas, again, to get where she wants to w/o leaving extra-early, and getting passed by everyone else. Hopefully, the Volt will actually be FUN to drive.

I can convert a Prius, a $22,000 car, to a plug in hyrbid for only $3000. What R&D is being done here that can't be learned online? Lutz is a moron. A total nitwit. He lacks any future-forward thinking. The man needs to go. Bullshit. I can convert a Prius, a $22,000 car, to a plug in hyrbid for only $3000.
