So how is that really any different than e.g. the guy who buys a great big truck to say "Look how much money I have, and macho I am. (And how insecure about the size of parts of my anatomy :-))"? People buy vehicles for all sorts of reasons, and advertising who/what they are is far from the least important.

IWell okay, the Volt was doomed to be a smug car because of the huge price tag...

Will you shut up about that imaginary huge price tag, already! The Volt goes for about $40K, pretty reasonable for any sort of upscale car.
