Chevy Volt sales for the year also disappointed, coming in at 23,094 and down from 2012 sales.

I'm sure GM would be very happy if these numbers were for Corvette sales.

Corvette:

2012: 14,132
2013: 17,291

I think they make a pretty good profit on the Corvette. But the Volt (with amortization costs) is more than $90,000 according to one of my car magazines. They’ve been selling them in the high 20’s with up to $12,000 in discounts and taxpayer graft from Washington.

Yep, they make money on Corvettes and pickups but lose on every Volt sold.

These numbers on EVs should tell them that they’re a money losing proposition.

I’ll buy a Vet long before I buy a Volt or a Spark and I will never buy a Vet as long as the Government or UAW own any significant amount of shares.

Corvette sells well for a car of that price range and class. 50K-125k and 2 seaters are not family sedans. As opposed to the Volt the Vette is a proven performance icon. Go check SCCA Super Stock results, every year they are 80-90 percent of the top ten... That Volt is a Dolt and does not belong in the same conversation as the Vette.
