How many of these Government Motors boondoggles were bought by government agencies?
A friend of mind has a Volt. He told me yesterday that he is getting 144 mpg.
Bear in mind that he only drives 10 miles to work so most everything he does is on the battery.
What the he!!s wrong with Immelt?? How can he be the CEO of a major international corporation and embrace a Marxist like a Saturday night whore???
I’ve yet to see one volt in my town of over 300,000 people.
Curiously, so is the Republican Congress.
The saddest part of this is the fools who write articles like this actually think they’re helping, and the people who read and believe it are quite content having the wool pulled over their eyes. I’m quite convinced that what passes for journalists today know that there’s another story out there, but to actually pursue it would damage something they see as obviously a good thing: the movement toward A Green Economy. At the same time, for the readers to question the standard media meme causes great discomfort. Questioning what we think we know to be true can shatter the nice little world in which we want to live.
I see the latter in my sister-in-law. She’s an intelligent person, yet she refuses to face what would be obvious were she not content to do the intellectual equivalent of shoving her fingers in her ears and yelling, “I can’t hear you! La, la, la, la, la...” Facing the fact that she’s been lied to, and has allowed it to happen for so many years is beyond what she’s willing to shoulder. Being wrong is far easier than admitting wrong.
Did they make any money on them? Could the Volt compete without the subsidies and other incentives to get people to buy them?

GM employees here in Detroit were some of the only ones buying the VOLT because GM put chargers in their parking structure.
GE agreed to “buy” many of the remaining VOLTs for their fleet cars.
Car Dealers were “buying” VOLTS to get the $7,000 tax break.
“Real World” sales were still dismal. I know people who work in the GM corporate offices and its pretty common knowledge that GM is not very happy with the VOLT. The increase in production has nothing to do with DEMAND...its coming mainly from Washington.
Many Federal Offices are required to be partly “green” in their purchases...The VOLT will help them meet those requirements.
The Feds are telling the FEDS to buy their own cars, its a self subsidizing program....
we have non-union made cars.
Behind the misleading headline, the actual numbers are more than a little underwhelming.
For comparison sake, 8,486 Camaros were sold in June alone.
That said, I’m not impressed with the Volt sales numbers.
Find out how many actually sold and set that as your target.
