Gas prices hit record levels for the month of February, and March has come in like a lion. With gas prices looking like they will break 2008 levels, one would think the less than stellar MPG electric/gas fiasco would gain some interests, especially with the government subsidizing this car though a tax credit. None of this is pushing consumers to look at the ugly Chevy Volt (perhaps it's the former GM's CEO quote about GM having to lessen the quality of their cars, perhaps its the bailouts, or perhaps Americans don't want to plug in their cars).
General Motors only sold 281 Chevy Volts in February. That's less than six per state, and I bet most of those were sold to bark-humping environmental wackos in California.
Then there is the Nissan Leaf, another ugly electric vehicle you have to plug in. Sales for the Leaf were even less impressive. Nissan sold only 67 leafs in February.
Get this, gas prices rose in February, and the number of Volts sold declined as did the Leaf. GM sold 321 in January and Nissan sold 87. Sales were so bad for GM, they tried to avoid embarrassment by keeping the Volt's sales numbers off their monthly scorecard.
Volt: 928 sold
Leaf: 173 sold
In comparison the Ford Fusion hybrid gets better fuel economy is a better buy over the Chevy Volt, and Ford did it without your tax dollars bailing them out. As for the Leaf, it's another ugly car for bark-humping liberal wackos that looks like it was cloned from half a Volkswagen Beetle.
