I can't wait until Top Gear gets their hands on a Dolt.
It's a shame this is probably a good business decision. I want to see GM die sooner rather than later and am boycotting them until they die, so I'd rather see more bad decisions. The time for an all electric car may come some day, but it's not today, and it's not from GM. There is no situation in which I would buy a new or used GM product ever again, not after the corruption of the government nationalization and stiffing the rightful claimants on their assets.
The volt was more like a millivolt.
Another stupendously liberal-like decision from the bin of GM’sliberal arts major management.
Earth to GM - you might try listening to your engineers already.
60,000 cars total? for the entire world?
isnt’ that a small number?
if GM stops building the volt would anyone notice?
I can only imagine these are all government buyers.
“increase the supply to fulfill the demand long-term”
Lololololololol
The Volt and the Ampera seem to be meeting serious Ohms in the marketplace. $41k for a Cruze is a bit much.
Yeah...I’m gonna buy one for sure.....I’m just aching to buy a car made by Government Motors, manufactured by loser union workers who bgot to screw investors for pennies on the dollar because of the bully Obmama...yeah...sure...as soon as I grow a new asshole.
I read that they were selling a whopping 300 volts per month.
The only potential change to that trend was GE buying up half the production in exchange for Immelt getting a appointment as economy csar or something.
GM is going down...
I saw a volt in Palo Alto a few days ago. It was the ugliest new car I’ve seen in ages - with “racoon” paint bordered by gaudy chrome under the side windows, and every thing else looking cheap and flimsy.
The fools at GM don’t realize that owning an electric car is all about striking a pose, and that means in reality that the primary design goal must be to look “fashionable”.
Volt U, Obama!
I can't wait until Top Gear gets their hands on a Dolt.
If a Chevrolet Volt met the Opel Ampera head on...Watt would be the result.
Watt? Volt here, Ampera there...sounds like it’s lost power
“They also plan to reconfigure the plant to build the upcoming 2013 Chevy Malibu.”
Here’s the real tip off about what is really going on. They’re going to be building Malibus rather than Volts at this factory. Less Volts, more Malibus. The part about plant upgrades for the Volt is just so much PR BS. They’re basically converting the plant from making Volts to making Malibus.
Anyone here see a possible, Vampire-Care type implementation, where influence is brought upon an un-regulated EPA, to force consumers to buy into this “electic for the air/environment”, (or get fined just like Vampire-Care)?
