The thing that killed it for the Chevy volt and us is travel, the Prius had so much more travel space for luggage. I can fold down the seats and fit almost as much gear in the car as the Jeep! It really is the perfect car between the Crossfire and the Jeep.

The Jeep is great for trips into the mountains, skiing and snow boarding. The Xfire has enough space for a good 3-4 day trip some where (we have squeezed a lot of gear in to the boot of that car!) And then the Prius for road trips that involve longer stays or having to tote tons of gear for rafting, climbing/slackline, fishing, camping (we have used the xfire for camping trips at Yosimite but you can fit so much more in the Jeep or Prius.) When we go on longer than 4-5 days trips.

The Volt and Leaf were pretty nice but did not meet our space or distance traveled needs. I really was a fan of the Nissan Leaf, I really wanted to get us one but it would only be good for around town.
