Volt sales stories are always an exercise in contortion...finding an excuse for yet another month of poor sales numbers. This is no exception.

Two things amaze me - first GM dumped another $384 million into upgrading the Volt plant. A third of a billion dollars. Is GM so stupid that they are just flushing money down a hole...or do they anticipate some new...ahem...legislation...that will make this a profitable move.

Second - The excuse this month is that the new Volt will be so much better, why would anybody buy one now. Why, oh why, would a consumer believe any of GMs claims about range or price, when it comes to the next gen Volt...when the promises for the current Volt were so overstated?

Having worked in automotive I know those numbers are a joke. The only thing keeping that thing in production is politics

They sold more Corvettes (29,000) than Volts (16,000) I’m of the opinion only an idiot or a watermelon would want a Volt.

“the next Volt would have a larger battery, enabling more range”

There by increasing the amount of hazardous waste it takes to produce them no doubt. Which kind of defeats the purpose doesn’t it?

Yet we Americans are prohibited from buying diesel cars that are sold in the European market that get better mileage than the stupid Volt.
