Prediction:
Obama will forbid production of the Dolt to be halted, and force his (his! HA!) government agencies to buy them by the trainload.

Men in North Korea are required to go to work at shutdown factories, they stamp a card showing they attended work and are then sent out to find a way to earn money to give to the factory.
Some job, scrounging out money from a dirt poor prison camp like NK which you then owe to the state-owned factory.
Even factories that aren’t shuttered only have electricity for 2 or 3 hours a day.

And in the same week Obama vows buy one, Christmas comes early this year. Discontinued in 2013. He'll still be able to get one after he leaves office.

There are just so many left wing college professors who might drop 50 grand for it.

I guess the peasants aren’t buying the baloney they’re peddling.

“they stamp a card showing they attended work and are then sent out to find a way to earn money to give to the factory.”
Sounds like unemployment insurance in America..

“5 BILLION in R & D.....5 BILLION more to market & produce.....a $50,000 (out the door)car that you would have to own for 20 years to recoup any savings(after you spend 12000.00 more for 2 new batteries......and they paid all of the GM workers big bonuses.....and GM still owes the taxpayers 23 BILLION dollars!!”

Excellent thumbnail economic encapsulation of this particular, anti-Market, Communist disaster.

“I heard they’ve sold just 120 Volts in the US and 230 Amperas in Europe!”
Not sure if that is sarcasm or not, but if not you heard wrong, it just seems like it's only 120. It's more like 10,000 give or take since inception. I'd guess 30% are still on Dealer lots one way or another. (unsold / Demos)

Was there a story yesterday, that, the Volt sales had doubled? The owners will not be pleased. They are going to need a DumBO pep rally.

I guess communism means that we have to pay the boss instead of the other way around.

the Chevrolet Volt and its European counterpart, the Opel Ampera. Do they have the Buick Ohm for the Asian market?

...Chevrolet Volt and its European counterpart, the Opel Ampera. Volt = unit of electomovite force
Ampera (Ampere) = unit of electrical current
OK, so who is ging to make use of the unit of electrical resistence, the Ohm? Ohmsmobile?
