This is simply the Osborne Effect in action. Yes, Volt sales have been low the past three months. But do you know what happened three months ago? GM announced the features of the 2016 Volt: increased electric range to 50 miles, added a fifth seat in the back, and 10% increase in mpg while in gasoline mode. To top it off, they are expected to lower the price as well.

“Guess people don’t like cars that burst into flame...” —Sacajaweau

The Volt fire scare turned out to be baloney. The fire only happened three weeks after the Volt was crash tested and only because the battery was not de-energized afterwards (kind of like not draining a leaking gas tank after a crash). If you get into a crash and it takes you three weeks to get out of the car, you have bigger problems to worry about.

“The Kelly Blue Book value for a 2013 Volt in excellent condition is only $17,400. Fail!” —Oldeconomybuyer

New Volts are being sold for $30,000 and qualify for around $10,000 in rebates, depending on where you live. So you can basically get a new Volt for $20,000.

Improvements come from every car manufacturer, yet every car manufacturer is not experiencing a 50% drop in sales.

Sounds like you have a vested emotional attachment to electric cars.

You’re welcome to buy that UNION-MADE POS, but most people here are not TOTAL IDIOTS.
