...the idiot Volt defenders should be showing up shortly, led by what’s his name-truthguy?

I'm here and ready with the truth because so many of you posting simply do not know what you are talking about.

Foremost among those is Robert Bryce himself, a journalist with no scientific or technical training either formal or practical. Bryce simply has not done his homework on the Volt. From the beginning GM only planned to produce 10,000 Volts in 2011. They will increase production to over 50,000 for 2012. Bryce's problem is that he thinks in a linear fashion. GM is releasing the Volt slowly in just a few markets because it's such a new and radical design. New technicians need to be trained to work on this vehicle. The first 10,000 units are already sold with people putting down deposits. Also many Volts are being leased because there are many who are cautious about such a new concept. These lease deals are not counted as sales.

So the problem with low sales is really a production problem. There are NO Volts setting around Chevy Dealership lots waiting to be sold. If you do not believe this, then go over to your local Chevy Dealership and see if you see any on the lot. Go ahead bfree. I'm calling you out right here and now. Take the challenge!

No the Chevy Volt owners are absolutely trilled with their cars. The car is fun to drive and very economical in the long run. Yes the first few years, this new technology will be expensive, but the price will come down just as it has with Wall TV's, Computers, and Cell Phones. A few of you here just might understand this.

For the record, Bryce was trashing the Volt, even before it was introduced. Now that's pathetic journalism.

The Volt has received many awards and accolates from the Motoring Press. It was "Car of the Year". It has a 5-star safety rating. I've stopped counting the awards it as won>. But if you really want to know how the Volt is doing, just ask those who have one:

Ask Volt Owners

Did you happen to receive the email with graphic photos of the guy who was cut in half after he had a head on with an 18 wheeler? He was texting while driving and crossed the center stripe. He was driving some kind of tiny car, it was impossible for me to tell if it was a Volt, Smart Car, Tata. I have led a pretty sheltered life and never seen a human body ripped into 2 pieces but if you are curious freepmail me your email address and I send it to you. I am not ready to drive anything that small so you are welcome to my coffin on 4 wheels.

What a joke. When GE and obami’s government mandated buys of the Volt are taken out of the equation, they don’t sell and won’t sell. Your propaganda link to ask Volt owners is another joke. There are so few owners and they probably got some more financial incentive to rave about the lemon they bought and we subsidized.

You are at least consist as a shill for this piece of garbage known as the Volt. After reading the comments yesterday of the chairman of GM, I am convinced GM will be bankrupt again within 5 years.

So the problem with low sales is really a production problem. There are NO Volts setting around Chevy Dealership lots waiting to be sold.

Because of obami's economy and sky high gas prices, I did the logical thing instead of going to dealers- I called them, 3 of the largest in the area. All 3 said they had no Volts and DIDN'T want them either. One dealer said they would special order one if I wanted, but with a substantial down payment.
