I think the better parallel here is how Toyota still has a top seller after their PR nightmare with the accelerator debacle. It seems Americans are willing to let bygones be bygones and will buy what they like. The Volt is actually an achievement in engineering, a first of its kind, but that doesn't make it a real solution to most people. It seems to target the wrong segment for the price it commands.

Besides, if GM is being honest, most of their volt buyers aren't Fox news people, so media slander just doesn't work. Even then, MT gave it car of the year honors, so it hasn't been all bad press for GM.
