The Volt is finished. It has such bad press and makes no sense to buy compared to far cheaper death traps with high MPG. Ironically, Opel has the same basic car in Europe, the Ampera, and it is doing better sales wise. They actually designed a car that looks a bit better and has a switch to turn off the batteries for cruising on the Autobahn. The Germans actually took customers in mind when designing theirs as opposed to Chevy just jamming together a POS to push out the door at Obummers insistence.

It is not just finished, it maybe even more of a laughing stock soon because of the new Ford Fusion. The question begs will the 2013 Fusion vs. The Volt become a political issue? Free market vs. almost Fascist sales tactics and push ( when sadly in actuality the Volt Engrs worked their hearts out )

Auto Extremist says it is a game changer and even the Honda Accord and Camry look old ( if my memory is correct )

The question is when is the comparison made, before or after November?
