I think they sold less than 700 last year.

I think FedGov is going to make it THE car to buy for government service. Post office, ICE, FBI...thousands and thousands sold.

In other news the GM FCO announced his retirement today effective April 1st. No explanation was given for is departure...

Do you suppose it could have anything to do with the drummed up Obama IPO offering of GM last November at $34.19, which if you bought 10,000 shares ($341,900 + broker fee) would be worth $314,200 today? That's a nice 9% loss in just four months!

Does the CFO possibly know when the Government is going to dump their remaining shares and drive the price down another 10%??

Just wondering...

So they have spent 50+ billion and sold 1000 in three months.

Let’s be generous and say they sell 5,000 by the end of the year. That means each car cost $10 million dollars to make?

Is my math right here?

The New Chevy Volt, now standard equipped with a 40 mile long extension cord. (Recommend to drive only on straight roads)

Buy a Volt or get the electric chair!

Would that chair be powered by "green" energy?

You could at least afford and drive an Edsel;the Volt is an over-priced exercise in wishful thinking.But isn’t every program championed by liberals based on wishs and fairy tales?

Well FR has its own brand of idiots who support the Volt and call us idiots for not buying the overpriced golf carts.

“What GM should do is take all the powerplant and drivetrain from the Volt and install it into an Aztek body.”

No, please let that dog die a quick death.
Now if they were smart and they are not, they should put that powerplant in the 1981 Chevette body!!
Oh yea/S

I counted about 66 billion in GM taxpayer bailouts. Divide that by 1000 Volts and you get a cost to the taxpayers of $66,000,000 each. Obammunism in a nutshell! Not even Ayn Rand could have imagined something that insane.
