When it comes to selecting a hybrid or electric vehicle, it's important to remember one thing: both selections are doing their part to reduce emissions. <a href="http://www.londoffadvantage.com/blog/2011/03/take-charge-of-fuel-economy-your-gm-certified-dealer-in-st-louis/" rel="nofollow">The Chevy Volt</a> does its part in the tight landscape of fuel economical vehicles.

A significant portion all Volts produced in February were sent to dealers as demo units (all Volt dealers get a demo so that customers can take test rides).<br />"I wouldn't go so far as to say that sales were down, I would say that more production was earmarked towards demos," Peterson explains. "There are some Volts that are out on lots, but not many. The average daily inventory is the lowest in our fleet, if not the lowest in the industry. They're landing on the dealer lots and they're gone."<br />Sales will probably start to rise after April, when all 600-plus Volt dealers have their demo units.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176197663145579761.post-25570498799946511932011-03-05T05:16:08.135-08:002011-03-05T05:16:08.135-08:00"According to GM sales data, Chevy sold only ..."According to GM sales data, Chevy sold only 281 of their much-hyped Volt.

It's silly season right now when they truly know they have nothing for the Volt - it's in a league of it's own.<br /><br />Ford's C-Max plug in appears interesting yet being based on the Focus, it's small and uninteresting compared to their larger C-Max variants powered by conventional ICEs. <br /><br />Truly, in 2007 I strongly believed the Volt was a PR move and would never hit the roads in all 50 states. It appears with the gas crisis stemming from N. Africa and the Suez Canal - Volt couldn't have been timed better. <br /><br />Demand for Volt will far exceed production, there is NO DOUBT. Remember in 2008 when Prius were on backorder for months?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JamesJamesnoreply@blogger.com
