“This vehicle is about more than how many we sell,” Batey said. “This vehicle is a magnet around everything we are trying to do to showcase our brand.”
That’s one hell of an expensive billboard you got there Al.
The Vega was actually a pretty salvageable model. Its primary flaw was a crap engine.
Even in an area over populated by well off enviro whackos, the Volt is basically non existent.
“It just went away, a failed product developed for an ideological moonbat wet dream rather than for the market”
Are you kidding?
Not a stupid dream at all.
It was made specifically to take money from US taxpayers to enrich libs via tax subsidies. In that, it was highly successful and certainly not a failure
Never intention of being marketable
Was I suppose to read all that?
I think not.
Amen with the crappy engine.
As I have learned it was a fault in the block casting process.
The first cash for clunkers. Except I got no cash for my clunker.
Ambassador Stevens is dead and the Chevy Volt is alive!
There ya go. That’s always the problem I had with them. I actually liked to drive them.
I didn't get much of a 'charge' out if it either.
"We came, we saw, he died."
The first was in Barkhamsted, Connecticut in April 2011. The fire marshal concluded that the fire was started by a nearby Suzuki Samurai that the owner had converted to an electric car in a do-it-yourself conversion.
The second was in Mooresville, North Carolina in November 2011. The fire marshal there concluded, once again, that the fire started elsewhere in the garage and not in the Volt.
The only Volts that have ever caught on fire were two that had been demolished in a crash test. The test engineers mistakenly failed to drain the damaged batteries and they only caught on fire a week after the test. If you get in an accident and it takes you a week to get out of the car, you have bigger problems to worry about.

I have seen exactly one Volt on the road since it’s inception. Doesn’t seem to be catching on in these parts.
DUDE!!!!!!!
