Sounds like collectors are jumping on them just in case they go out of production.
I'd rather have a DeLorean.

Hah hah you have managed to dredge up links showing:Considering that only 23K of Chevy Volts were reported as sold last year (and many of those are actually sitting in Dealer Inventory), the government and GE have together bought an extraordinary ratio of Volts.
That's the point, you Dim Bulb.
Think that if it give you comfort, you silly kniggit.
The fact is the Volt is an Epic Failure, and the government and its corporate cronies are artificially propping up sales.
I ask again: how many Volts did the government buy in 2012?Think that if it gives you comfort, you silly kniggit.

Okay that is hilarious.Considering the $7,500 government rebate for Volt purchased , the government "bought" approximately 20% right off the bat, bub.
I know that's what CNN SAYS. That doesn't mean it's true. It just means that CNN said it was true.
...
So it is OBVIOUS that CNN was lying.
And csmonitor is lying too: Chevy Volt sales triple in year of paradoxes for electric cars - CSMonitor.com
"GM sold a record 23,461 Chevy Volts in 2012, triple the amount it did last year in the electric car's shaky debut. But the impressive figure is still well below GM's 2012 target of 35,000 to 40,000 itself a reduction of the 60,000 GM CEO Dan Akerson initially projected."
Motortrend is also lying: GM 2012 Sales: Chevrolet Silverado, Volt End Strong - GM Sells One Million 30-MPG Cars - WOT on Motor Trend
"The Chevrolet Volt, too, saw sales leap 206 percent from just 7671 units in its difficult first year on the market to a respectable 23,461 cars in 2012"
Wired jumped ahead and lie back in June when they projected 20k Chevrolet Volt Outselling Corvette in 2012 | Autopia | Wired.com
"if Volt sales continue as expected, Chevrolet expects around 20,000 Volts sold by the end of this year."
CBS got in on it, preemptively lying at the start of October Chevy Volt sales race ahead of Nissan Leaf - CBS News
"But Chevrolet sold 2,851 Volts in September for 16,348 so far this year"
Thanks for uncovering CNN lying with your investigation, and for unraveling the massive conspiracy among all these different media sources to plant the seeds of this lie throughout the year. Nice work, I smell Pulitzer!!
SteadyMoron,
You're a sad sack of sophistry, bub. Are you related to TMN?
SteadyMoron - how much does GM (and the U.S. government) lose on each Chevy Volt sale?
Definitely, the sales of this car have been far below what GM hoped and anyone spinning 23k sales for a country like the US and a company with sales volumes like GM is engaging in serious wishful thinking.They only sold 23,000 nation wide in 2012 but it was up from 7,000 in 2011 so ignorant brain washed lefties think it's a ....victory. How sad for them.
SteadyMoron - how much does GM (and the U.S. government) lose on each Chevy Volt sale?
I have no idea, and have made no claim to know.
You however have implied knowledge that a large ratio of the Volts sold in 2012 were because of purchases by the US government, a claim I find suspect. In fact you came in appearing to support a poster saying tens of thousands were purchased by them.
So for about the fourth time I ask you, how many Chevy Volts in 2012 were purchased b y the government? You know the ratio so surely you know the number right?
Fair enough then, I obviously misinterpreted when you said:Steady Moron - I made no claims regarding regarding a specific amount of govenrment Volt purchases. My point, which has flown over your doubtlessly pointed head, is that Volt Sales Figures are most certainly inflated with government purchases.
considering that only 23K of Chevy Volts were reported as sold last year the government and GE have together bought an extraordinary ratio of Volts
The government bought most of those Volts. GM bought an entire fleet of Volts.
I am a careful label reader. If it even comes close to looking like it was made with union labor, I'll do my very best to get something not made with union labor or made outside of the country. Even if I have to pay more for it.
