WRONG!
Edsels, Corvairs and DeLoreans were viable automobiles that failed. I could buy any one of these and drive coast to coast. I did with a new Corvair in 1962. A poor man's version of Route 66. The Volt is a curiosity piece or an expensive toy at best, but not a viable automobile.

GM produced 200,000 Corvairs a year for the first 6 years of production. I believe that totals to 1.2 million just for the first six years. I don’t believe I would call that a failure.

The Volt however is a total failure.
