Chevy Volts are not selling, a failure. My daughter has a Nissan Altima Hybrid. She gets 700 miles on a tank of gas. And it'll run in electric mode as often as needed, then switches to the gas engine, and then back again. Push the start button and immediately silently pull away, all the time. I'm really impressed by it, when you need acceleration it pulls away quickly with lots of torque and leaves other cars in the dust. She's had it seven years without problems. Nissan was selling it while getting the Leaf off the ground.
The Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf started sales at the same time, in December 2010. Nissan has sold about 64,000 Leafs and GM has sold about 69,000 Volts. Some people pick on the Volt just because Obama sat in one once.

Yea, the Leaf and Volt are like this too. I think a lot of conservatives would be converts if they took a test drive.
