    Default Google trends: chevrolet volt, chevy volt, nissan leaf

    Google Trends provides insights into broad search patterns. Please keep in mind that several approximations are used when computing these results.

    I wish Google Trends had the ability to OR in a list. It does in searching but it did not seem to work...thus my two volt entries.

    Re: OR - like this news search http://news.google.com/news/search?&...OR+Chevy)+Volt

    Added 'Focus Electric' but had to do the last 30 because of lack of data (per google trend)

    Is it possible to create a data point based on the sum of search terms?

    Something like a single line for ("Chevrolet Volt" OR "Chevy Volt" OR "GM Volt") would be more accurate as neither Ford nor Nissan have multiple common names likely to turn up in search terms.
    #639 - I =D~ my car.

    Unfortunately, these metrics are vulnerable to hype and tampering, so I put little value in them. I've watched internet activists and hacktivists swarm movies, music, videos, products, etc. before, just to create buzz and force a bump in traffic, just to attempt to claim an early victory. Sometimes it even works, but autos are just too important an item to be influenced by such hype. It may generate initial sales, but sales will fall off a cliff if the vehicle does not serve the driver's lifestyle / utility.

    I wonder if all the LEAF searches are by those who put down a deposit on the LEAF, but have no idea when they will get the vehicle, so they are desperately coming the internet for any news.
