The Vette had a tough time early on because Ford came along right on it's heels with the T'bird which kicked its ass, sales wise. Fortunately for GM, Ford did what they did with most things back and the day and turned it into a barge, leaving the sports car market to GM all by itself.

As for the disdain some of us feel towards the volt, I think a lot of it comes from the gubmint heavily subsidizing it allegedly because they care so much about the environment, then, turning around and over-regulating the crap out of the industry to keep REAL green vehicles from ever seeing the light of day.
