Chevy Volt Follows Stupid 2012 with Stupider 2013

Actually, Volt sales are higher than half of the vehicles sold in the US, so there are a lot more vehicles that would fall of the charts first... "The Volt is the 133rd most popular car sold in the U.S. out of 262 total through the first 8 months of 2012, according to Timothy Cain at Good Car, Bad Car. In other words, it’s the “median car” — half are more popular, half are less popular. Given that it’s an entirely new kind of vehicle, expensive and demonized by people with an often strange political agenda, that’s fairly remarkable." http://www.forbes.com/sites/markrogowsky/2012/09/21/rants-aside-the-volt-is-actually-earning-raves-and-its-a-hit/

Don't forget the Mazda Miata. Actually, from a CS Monitor article:

"Would you have expected the Volt to outsell both the BMW 7-Series and the Mercedes-Benz S Class, Lincoln's large sedan, the MKS, for example--not to mention the mid-size Audi A6? It did.

Then there are the several hybrids it beat, including the Lexus RX 400h and CT 200h, and the Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

Even more impressive, it beat every single hybrid model sold by BMW, Cadillac, Ford, Honda, Kia, GMC, Infiniti, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen."

If you do some research instead of just spewing this vomit you would understand that the ONLY 2 Volts ever to catch on fire were crash test vehicles that burned 2 weeks after the test when the batteries were not discharged, like they are supposed to be in the event of a crash. Not a single Volt has ever caught fire in real world (millions and millions of miles) driving, while at the same time over a quarter million internal combustion engined cars burn up every year.

I know you won't believe me because it doesn't go along with your agenda of hate and misinformation, so just continue to post things like this so the rest of us, who do research, will recognize right away that we will not glean any intelligent information from you.

So are those the ones that caught fire or the ones that didn't? If you put the Volt against the Yugo which one would win? If you are lost in the forest which would you rather have a Chevy Volt or a pack of matches?

I wonder what some of those other 129 cars might be? Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Maserati, just to name a few. Actually, those cars are not even on the list, but some that are: Mercedes, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, Infiniti, SmartFortwo, Scion, Corvette, Volvo's, most of the cars under the Volt are specialty low volume cars, like the Volt. Fiat sold 12,000 more 500's than Chevy gave away Volts, oh yeah, Fiat sold 150% more cars in the same time period. The 500 is ranked #91 back in June 2012, Volt was #144. The top 20 vehicles sold over 10's more vehicles than Volt year to date in June. The top 10 vehicles sold over 15x's more vehicles. The Volt is the median of nothing.

After a year that can only be described as “stupid,” the Chevy Volt is gearing up to make 2013 even stupider still.

I know, I know.

You find it hard to believe that a mostly-owned subsidiary of the United States government and the Obama administration- like GM is- could get any stupider than say Fannie Mae, or Federal Reserve Bank.

Yes, that’s tough competition, but in the “idiocy” category GM seems to be the ruling champion.  

Not only have they lost substantial amounts of taxpayer dollars, they have managed to do it while generating record profits...
