Leno Thinks the Volt will be "Superior" to Prius - There you Have it
Since leaving the Tonight Show, Jay Leno has apparently been investing lots of time into his garage -- and thus, he's become a kind of quasi-authority on alternative fuel vehicles. He owns a 1909 Baker Electric and drives a fuel cell Equinox daily. In an interview with GM-Volt.com this week, Jay Leno reportedly said: "I think you'll find that the Volt will be a superior package to the Prius." Oooh, diss. I have no idea how much he got paid to say that. Not that an ex-Tonight Show host talking trash about gas electric hybrids is conclusive evidence, or really means anything substantive at all (especially when they haven't even test driven the Volt yet), but Jay Leno is apparently the kind of guy that doesn't mind rattling the saber a little when it comes to the car wars ... or speaking too soon. Considering that the Volt is expected (if its ever released) to cost almost twice as much as a Prius, it sure ought to be "superior."
