Except for the fact that there's a large segment of the market, maybe a majority, which prefers to buy Japanese brand cars (even if they're actually made in US factories). I wouldn't have any hesitation in buying a Leaf (if it was the kind of car I wanted), but I'd think long and hard before buying a Volt, simply because of my past experience with products from the two companies.
