Looks like some for fail for the Regime. I thought this car was going to be so popular and indispensable that it would create hundreds of thousands of jobs. All it did was raise the unemployment rate.

We needed to maintain proper inventory and make sure that we continued to meet market demand,"So THAT is why production was halted, to bring capacity down to demand? ROTF!

Even with sales up in February over January, we are still seeking to align our production with demand, said GM spokesman Chris Lee Yeah, sales doubled from 3 to 6 units....

Go over to "GreenCarCongress"...
Last week they had 3 stories on the technical aspects of the up and coming Hybrid and "Energi" Ford Fusion.
They have to axe this Turkey before the Fusion comes out so they don't have to go mano-e-mano and then the Volt because it will look like a Trablant up against the Fusion.
Can't have that going into November with our "Dear Leader" being the Volt's biggest Cheerleader, he is going to have to fall in love with something else, and get it gone or he cooks his own goose.

The question to ask everyone is Who do you know who can afford $40,000 for a new car? I wonder what the percentage is of Americans who are struggling to even afford their car payment?

I could have sworn I read something within the last week about how well the Volt was doing and I thought “another lie” ... and surprise, surprise, surprise /s .... it was.

From the Automotive News, 6,300 Volts in inventory.
Also from the Detroit Free Press, sales of the two other cars made at DHam last month:
Cadillac DTS, 68 cars, -95.5%
Buick Lucerne, 304 cars, -88.2%
Yeah the economy is picking up speed, down hill.

From a former car salesman..... When choosing a new car, the very first question you should ask nowadays is.....
Is the battery bigger than a breadbox? If the answer is yes, don’t buy it.

...seeking to align our production with demand...What the Hell kind of archaic attitude is that? Clearly we need a dictatorship of the proletariat at GM so outdated, non-progressive thinking like that can be relegated to the bottom of the swarf and oil barrel.

Volt sales are up so Chevrolet is decreasing production.
In related news, the chocolate ration has been increased to 25 grams per week.

Obama is going to tell us they are selling so well that the workers have been working 25-hour days. GM is giving them a couple months off since they are so exhausted.

I just saw a ad about a hour ago for the Volt. It shows what I presume is the first car driving off the line. Funny to think that that car may very well be still unsold (or burnt to a crisp) and all the Union workers clapping and cheering as it drove away are now laid off.

Not to worry, they’ll start up again in five years to produce one sample that the then ex-POTUS Obama had promised to purchase.
