It's good to hear they found a reasonable fix to an irrational fear. I still have 2 concerns: the correction has low infotainment shock value (and will not make front page news), and (still) that such a high-tech, highly efficient vehicle is in the hands of GM -- read: I'm happy it exists, but it has needed help with public confidence before the "issue", let alone now.
If Toyota manufactured and marketed it as the "Prius XYZ" or whatever, it would likely sell like "hotcakes".
So then, I guess it takes grassroots efforts, like ours here, to keep the conversation in the forefront. I often meet many who fear hybrid technology, since it is simply: not understood.
