Only if they gave me one for free. I’d still be ashamed to drive it.
I’ll promise to tell all my friends how great it is if they give me one for free. It will have to be worth something someday. I mean, it worked with Edsels.
The good news is that if you buy a Chevy Volt you also have a portable barbecue grill!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! nobama FAILs again.
Well, I cannot say how all the incentives work out, but their sale price on Volts is still mid 30s. That’s around $35,000 for one of the things.
They are rated at 38 MPG.
Heck, a 2013 Honda Civic LX gets 39 highway MPG and costs $20K.
A 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid gets 44 MPG and costs $25K, ten thousand less than the Chevy VOLT and without all the incentives.
Sorry Government Motors...no dice.
Sadly, an increased economic incentive to buy a 3,000 pound turd is still a FAIL.
It’s a piece of crap car designed and peddled by the government. Want an electric? Go get a Tesla.
Demand wanes? How could they tell?
Even free, I would not accept a Volt or any other GM car. I am boycotting that corrupt company forever because of the shocking bankruptcy in which they violated bankruptcy law, contract law, and centuries of common law to reward the UAW and other connected insiders as the bondholders and others were stiffed. I do not deal with crooks, and the “new” GM is particularly crooked. As an added bonus, the Volt is such a trashy car that I’m not losing out by refusing to deal with them. GM’s offerings are pathetic.
GM is dead to me - permanently.
The Chevy Volt is becoming the Ford Pinto Hatchback of this generation. I remember the ‘explodes on impact’ bumper sticker jokes pertaining to Pintos.
“There is no plug-in market.”
LOL. Long ago, I moved into a brand new neighborhood. So did a lot of younger people, as it was entry-level housing. I’ll never forget the first Spring - people were cutting their grass every 3 days - what pride - just like they saw daddy doing it years earlier.
Over time it started getting old. The grass got longer and longer between cuts. Trimming was rare. They were SICK OF IT.
So I just imagine the HUGE SMILES as the Volt owners plug in their car, night after night, after night, after night, after night, and then another night. And they watch their gas-guzzling neighbors park, get out of their car, and be done with it until the next morning...and they envy. And they think just how STUPID they were, as they have to drag the plug through the rain, or wiggle around a wet car, and do it again, and again, and again. All the while knowing that they have batteries that can blow any time and that they haven’t done jack for “the planet” as they know coal is used for that power.
If they tossed in free lawnmower attachments, portable welding cabling kit and power inverter station, I might be more interested.
