GM most certainly will if the HCCI can be design and production validated by summer 2010.
I doubt GM can considering HCCI is currently prototyped with low efficiency subsystems like temp/mix conversion.
General Motors is a great company pouring a majority of resources, their best and brightest into every aspect of fuel efficient vehicles to blitz the market with advanced hybrids.
Take note of the SUV hybrid variants available this fall with all Pickups following next year.
As for the Volt, the technology going into the cockpit is stunning. The fact that the show car styling is mandated, the human machine interface/features ground breaking and the interior styling uncompromised will make the Prius look like a VW “Thing” for the same money.
Mark my words.
General Motors is a great car company! Killing old stereotypes of the bygone dark days will take time, but they will die and soon.

The key to the success of the Prius is the fact that it is such an unusual looking car. Everyone can see how enlightened you are for saving the earth.
