Chevy Volt sales for the year also disappointed, coming in at 23,094 and down from 2012 sales.

I'm sure GM would be very happy if these numbers were for Corvette sales.

Corvette:

2012: 14,132
2013: 17,291

Side note: Witnessed a Chevy volt being towed wheels down on a tow bar behind a foriegn hybrid on 95 south bound. This rig was struggling along at at least 65 mph while traffic blew by.

These idiots think that they are saving the world one inconvenience to the rest of us at a time.

The same counting trick as the Porkulus.

If you still have a job then, it is counted as ‘saved and created’.....

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I wouldn’t buy a car with the name “Spark.”

The taxpayer-subsidized vehicle's apparent real hidden goal is to help GM meet compliance requirements in states like California.

Well, there's the answer. Governments decree that a certain percentage of vehicles must meet ridiculous requirements and manufacturers must attempt to meet them if they want to stay in business at all.

I'm no GM apologist but this is life in our Fascist state.

the only things wrong with the Volt/Spark,

is that they cost too much for what they are.
you have to start somewhere.

After shareholders got screwed by the bailout the first time, I’m surprised there are any GM shareholders now.
