Those of your who said no one would buy the overpriced and underpowered Chevy Volt will just have to eat crow, because General Motors was able to find four suckers early adapters each and every day in the month of July.
That’s right. GM sold a grand total 125 Volts last month. Hah! That’ll teach you non-believers.
The Weekly Standard has the story:
Way back in March I made fun of the Volt for selling 281 units in February. Turns out, February was a good month. But wait, there’s more! GM says they’re going to increase production to 5,000 Volts per month in order to keep up with demand. You see, they claim that the reason the Volt isn’t selling is that they can’t keep enough cars on the lot. A GM spokeswoman recently claimed that they are “virtually sold out.” Which is virtually true. Mark Modica called around his local Chevy dealers and found plenty of Volts waiting for an environmentally conscious driver to bring them home.
We resent the Weekly Standard’s snide attitude. This is the car of the future. The car that will revolutionize the auto industry. The official car of the Obama administration.
And that’s plenty good enough for us, damn it.
