The Cadillac ELR has been on sale for just five months, but General Motors is now offering dealers a $5,000 incentive to offer test drives in the Chevrolet Volt-based plug-in hybrid. To receive the incentive, dealers have until June 2 to designate ELRs in their current inventory as test vehicles, after which each test car has to log a minimum of 750 test-drive miles.
The incentives could be because 1,700 ELR coupes remained unsold in dealer inventories at the end of April. At current sales rates, that’s a 725-day supply, which is almost exactly two years’ worth of cars.

If it doesn’t look like a hybrid, libs won’t buy it.
Because the libtards want something like the Prius. Just like the South Park episode, they want a smug symbol and Cadi’s doesn’t give the impression.
Informative post. Thank you. Then it is followed up by the at least equally snooty “N’est pas?”. Then the tagline adds icing to the cake! Thanks!!
well, it worked so well with the Cimarron
IIRC, the Mustang also sold a million copies in the '65-'66 period. Right now, GM is on track to hit that number of Volts (and Cadillac clones) in around seven hundred years. There will still be classic Mustangs running long after the last Volt bursts into flames.
Based on longevity alone, the Mustang wins the environmental impact contest.
I’ll never buy another UAW made car. They can get the Democrats to steal my tax money, but they won’t get a penny from me willingly.
This is what a roller skate looks like:
Add in the fact that it’s spelled “n’est-ce pas.”
And looks absolutely nothing like it...
Thanks for the correction. Suddenly, I am surrounded by flames ....
“Cadillac estimates it can go up to 37 miles on battery power alone, and while that’s one less mile than the Volt, the ELR is a fair bit quicker, as Cadillac was able to get more power out of the car’s electric-drive motor.”

One would have to not care at all about range to buy that Caddy over the Tesla.
I’m going to visit my Caddy dealer and offer to put that 750 miles on each of them so they get cashback from GM. I do about 750 miles a week.
The same division of GM that produced the 4-5—8 engine. That flopped, also.
For that kind of money, I could get a Sports Chassis semi-hauler. Or a Dodge Ram & have enough $$$ left over to have a once- in -a-lifetime vacation.
Jeez you’ think they would be flying off the lot since Sean Hannity loves his.

A Cadillac on a Cavlier chassis - what were they thinking?
Who’s got the money these days?
That’s an ugly car.
I had a ‘68 VW, bare bones on ameneties. Did everything I wanted. After a sideswipe by a bus, I bought a new ‘72 Super Beetle with the larger engine and a/c. Fantastic car, and I wouldn’t mind having one like it now. ....I’m 71 and have a 13 y/o Impala LS with barely over 18k miles on it. It’s a great car, but I don’t need such a large car and would enjoy the smaller VW of my past. .....Hybrid autos suck and just suck in $$$ from the enviro brain washed crowd.
You mean putting lipstick on a pig doesn't work?
