You also made a mistake in calling out NLPC and throwing your 46% figure out when in fact you didn’t take into consideration the point being made in the article, but I suppose you consider yourself beyond reproach like most trolls do.
If someone were to read that article and think to themselves that it would be a bad idea to buy a Volt as a result of that 65% loss-of-value figure then they would be mistaken. But that is what NLPC was trying to do: massage the facts in order to inject fear surrounding the Volt.
I pointed out in my response that the 65% figure is misleading because it does not take into account the $7,500 tax credit and the $5,000 price reduction. Anyone who was thinking about buying a Volt would benefit from a figure that was more representative of all the facts. Which is why I calculated the 46% figure.
Since the Volt has the highest customer satisfaction of any car that GM has ever made, I don't think the owners of the 2012 are too upset that the 2014 model got a discount. However, someone who was in the market for a new Volt today might want to know these nuances.
