Triumph For The Global Warming Crowd! GM Sells 250 Chevy Volts In December!


I swear, I am literally on the floor, rolling and laughing at loud at this little story that was put up at Breitbart. The sales in December have been posted for electric cars from GM and Nissan and well....see for yourself:

This was the year General Motors Co. and Nissan made good on their promise to bring mass-produced electric cars to the market. But don't count on seeing one in traffic anytime soon. Sales so far have been microscopic and they're likely to stay that way for some time.

GM sold between 250 and 350 Chevy Volts this month and Nissan's sales totaled less than 10 Leaf sedans in the past two weeks. Production for both is slowly ramping up, and supplies are limited.


Can you imagine? Government Motors makes the economic decision to commit the capital, space and workforce to producing the electric Volt and is averaging sales of 10 cars per day. I think I know a used car salesman in Ames, Iowa that sells 10 cars in one day.

And don't let all of this bullshit about "slowly ramping up" or "production is slow" fool ya...the reason they aren't producing any of these misfit vehicles is a) there's no bloody orders for them from dealers and b) they are finding all kinds of "bugs" in 'em.

So, everyone, let's gather around the statues of Al Gore and Barack Hussein Obama in the city square and give it up for them, three times: "Hail to Going Green! Hail to Going Green! Hail to Going Green!"



Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf post small December sales


DETROIT (AP) - This was the year General Motors Co. and Nissan made good on their promise to bring mass-produced electric cars to the market. But don't count on seeing one in traffic anytime soon. Sales so far have been microscopic and they're likely to stay that way for some time.

GM sold between 250 and 350 Chevy Volts this month and Nissan's sales totaled less than 10 Leaf sedans in the past two weeks. Production for both is slowly ramping up, and supplies are limited.

It will be well into 2012 before both the Volt and Leaf are available nationwide. And if you're not one of the 50,000 people already on waiting lists, it could take six months before you will be able to walk in and haggle with a salesman over the price of one of them on the lot.
