I think calling the Chevy Volt a ‘sales flop’ is an insult to legitimate sales flops everywhere.
Monumental failure might be a better term.
Given the recent commercial push ("Volt at a gas station?? I thought they didn't need gas.") and the product placement in shows I watch (The Mentalist, for one), I'd say we need the Fail Boat .jpg in the thread about now:
Good point. The Edsel was a “sales flop” and it sold 64,000 units in its first year.
