Volt update: Only 2,745 sold

Posted on July 19, 2011 by | 8 Comments

The Nissan Leaf has so far “outsold” the Chevy Volt, 4,134 to 2,745, reports the Los Angeles Times. As each buyer gets a $7,500 tax credit, these sales have so far cost taxpayers $51.6 million. It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry.

    There’s Alternating Current, and there’s Direct Current, but these two seem to be Under Currents.
    I’d rather be driving a Charger.

    Laugh – it could be worse. They can subsidize more cars if they want to – after all it is only money.

    Wonder if the “Volt” will be the next generations Edsel?
