I'd say that Price is the biggest contributing factor to the low sales.


From the article:

Quote
But the biggest factor may be the price of the Volt. At $33,500, the Volt is not cheap.
 


But their numbers are wrong.

A look at GM's website shows that a base model Chevy Volt will run you $39,995

if you want it fully loaded it will run you $46,395

The $33,500 must be factoring in the Federal $7,500 rebate. There is also a $5,000 California rebate. So for some they can get one for $12,500 off sticker. And it still doesn't sell.

Government Motors

Obama is the CEO Picker.

He fired the last one.

President Fires a Company President.

Now that has to be a first.

And a Shame for us to let it happen.

Volt catches fire, but not in the sales department.

The battery compartment is the only thing hot on that car, as in on fire.
