Those toyota and honda products don't make any sense.

I came to the same conclusion. My brother has had a Prius for 4 years and I just wasn't impressed.
You do have to put a little effort into energy management with a Volt. Use battery power in town when the gas engine is inefficient and use the gas engine once you are on the highway. Because I was traveling on the highway all day I used the gas engine and got 350+ miles out of a 8.8 gallons of gas. Under those conditions it's just an unusually large and well appointed economy car. But when I get home I may go a month without using any gas at all.
