After selling a record number of Volts in March – 2,289 – Chevrolet managed to move just 1,462 in April. This is more inline with previous recent months (1,023 sales in February, 603 sold in January, 1,529 in December) and is almost three times the 493 sold in April 2011.

For the Leaf, Nissan sold just 370 in April, down from 579 units in March and 478 in February. In fact, 370 is lower than the number Nissan sold in April 2011, 573. The Leaf’s best sales month ever was June 2011 with 1,708 units.

In March, Chevy was offering a 36 Month, Zero Down Payment Lease on the Volt for $369 a Month.

That explains the increased March Sales numbers. You cannot lease a $42,000 Vehicle for $369 a Month without a large Down Payment. The numbers simply cannot work, unless they used the Taxpayer funded $7,500 Tax Rebate as the Down Payment. Hmmmmmmmmm...
