Thanks. That's good information that is specific to the discussion.SageBrush said:Lastly, while I was not talking only about Volt reliability because I don't know details, the 2nd generation Volt has this going onhttp://www.hybridcars.com/consumer-reports-names-tesla-volt-and-prius-among-winners-and-losers/The Chevrolet Volt is “no longer recommended” as it is on a list of vehicles with “declining reliability.”

The kicker is “First-year reliability of the redesign has been well-below average,” says CR.
Still, to date, no Toyota Prius has ever topped the Chevy Volt in customer satisfaction. And the PiP is far behind. Will that changed with the 2017 Chevy Volt and the 2017 Prius Prime? No one knows.
Simply put, Toyota is the laggard in plug-in vehicles. They have some catch-up to do in this space. They continue to cling to their hybrid line which has been a real cash cow for them while Chevy had innovated aggressively. IMO, a 25-mile electric-only range will still leave Toyota customers lacking. Time will tell.
