How could Nissan DO THIS WITHOUT massive government subsidies and bailouts?

But the surprise story this year was May's strong full-size pickup truck sales . . . General Motors sold 1,607 Volts in May, down 4.3 percent from a year ago. In the first five months of 2013, the company sold only 100 more Volts than during the same period last year.

That is a surprise. People would rather have a vehicle that can carry a substantial load than one that can go 40 miles on a charge and may burn your house down if the battery fails while charging. Who would have guessed?

Note: I am boycotting GM forever because of the massive corruption of their "bankruptcy", which ignored bankruptcy law, contract law, and common law. I would not buy a GM car at any price, not even if they were worth having. Fortunately, the Volt is one of the worst vehicles manufactured since the Yugo disappeared, so I'm not missing out on anything worth having.

A sales race between the Volt and the Leaf...huh? Snail races would be more exciting.
