We're saved! Much hyped coal-powered 'Car of the Year' Chevy Volts sells whopping 350 units in 2010, while SUV sales skyrocket: "The establishment media is finally getting it that consumers aren't going to be buying electric cars anytime soon: Predictable: Despite green car hype, SUV sales led auto industry rebound in 2010.
Even the Washington Post had to begrudgingly report the facts: SUVs lead U.S. auto sales growth despite efforts to improve fuel efficiency. Case in point is the Chevy Volt, hailed by liberals as the future of automobiles. In a marketing gimmick the Volt - a car that at the time hadn't sold a single unit, is powered by coal and which the government has to pay you $7,500 to buy - was named the Motor Trend 'Car of the Year.' And the Green Car of the Year. And the Detroit Free Press Car of the Year. That very 'Car of the Year' for 2010 has sold a whopping 350 units in that year. Wow! 350 units! We're saved! And that's the upper limit. The Nissan Leaf did even better - 10 units. TEN. But don't worry because next year sales will double! At this rate the hype will pay for itself in about oh... 3.5 billion years. From The Detroit News: Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf post small December sales
Sales so far have been microscopic, and they're likely to stay that way for some time because of limited supplies. 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.The 2010 'Car of the Year' not available until 2012? That is so totally appropriate since the car was pushed by Obama who himself got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing... nothing!
It will be well into 2012 before both the Volt and Leaf are available nationwide. And if you're interested in buying one, you'll need to get behind the 50,000 people already on waiting lists.
