General Motors Green Revolution!!

[Zander]

The long awaited, highly touted, earth shaking, environmental juggernaut, and game changing Chevy Volt is shitting the bed in sales.......

GM sells just 281 Chevy Volts in February, Nissan only moves 67 Leafs — Autoblog Green

Peruse Chevrolet's February sales release, and you'll notice one number that's blatantly missing: the number of Chevy Volts sold. The number – a very modest 281 – is available in the company's detailed data (PDF), but it certainly isn't something that GM wants to highlight, apparently. Keeping the number quiet is a bit understandable, since it's lower than the 321 that Chevy sold in January.

The VOLT was going to save GM, right? According to Obama it was. It was an integral part of his "new green economy". GM has only managed to move about 900 Volts since the big rollout. This seems to be the pattern with everything Obama touches - he's the anti-Midas.



How nice. GM is talking about increasing production of this dog.....only a Government run entity would pursue such stupidity....

Of course it does...that's why the I-pod and I-pad took so long to catch on.....

I am sure the boys at RedHat will have a good laugh when I tell them that.

 

[skeptic]

Americans are genetically adverse to austerity, conservation etc. That is why Americans can not be trusted with money. Give an American $1000 in disposable income and s/he will uselessly waste more fossil fuels than the majority of the world's people consume.

Americans want power, prestige, sex appeal, glorification of their ego.

Getting from point A to point B is tertiary.

True, but hydrids do. Prius has sold over 1 million new Prius since 2008 - and they cost around $35K.

GM's Volt - has been anything but electric......

There were other 4-wheel drive vehicles (Jeeps included) around long before the Ford Explorer was introduced. The GMC Jimmy, for example, was introduced in 1970.

SUVs became popular when all the soccer moms realized how ghey they looked driving a mini-van.
