Google trends: chevrolet volt, chevy volt, nissan leaf

An interesting point shows up because I had to separate 'chevrolet volt' and 'chevy volt'. The latter is much more popularly used? I'm surprised.

12 month chart (link)

12 month charge link above shows volt, leaf and focus. Interesting that the "GM offers lower-priced 2012 Chevy Volt" timing bumped the Leaf quite a bit.

If you change the two lines of research are the Chevy Volt Chevy Volt to become much closer. This data is still wrong, because, as others have said you can not find the Chevrolet, and Chevy at the same time.

scottf200,

You now need to add Ford C-Max Energi and Ford Fusion Energi to the list.

Speaking to the obvious, we have a downward trend through 2012, but sales went up.

Looks like you can only do 5. I thought the Ford C-Max Energi would be good.

I would guess because of less bashing and negative type of articles. It'll level out more for a better comparison from interested searchers (IMO).
