I work in the DC market. I say the two don't compare because people aren't coming in saying they are looking at the Honda's as well. If they do, they usually always go with the Chevy. I believe that they are living off of their past. Many repeat Honda buyers, whereas most of my customers do not...

Yes sorry, I meant Sierra. The truth is almost any car you buy these days is a good one. It's really just about your preference. But it seems Chevy, Ford, Hyundai, and Subaru are really leading the pack. When somebody comes in to drive a Cruze, I ask them what else they are considering. Usually...

Keep in mind that GM sells the same truck under two different names - Silverado and Sienna. I really don't care about bashing Ford, they are putting out some really good products.

The other guy said "brilliant fellas.. argue with a car salesman..." He didn't say anything of worth at all, just some more GM trash talk. Like I said typical ET. Now I'll admit, I don't know the exact answer as to the battery degrading and when that might be covered under warranty, but...

Typical ET. Don't challenge any of my points, just call me a car salesman and be done with it. Anytime you want to have an intelligent conversation, just let me know. Although that seems harder and harder to find on ET.

I don't know the exact point at which it could be determined that the battery has eroded enough to be covered under warranty. I don't work in service and don't handle the warranties. The simple answer is, nobody knows. That's life. GM has done their testing and is confident enough that they will...

How can you say what the threshold is? My customer just emailed me yesterday and said he can get 53 miles to a charge. John Doe over there blasts the AC, weaves in and out of traffic and is constantly seeing if he can improve his 0-60 time. He only gets 25 miles to a charge and then goes to his...

I guess if you are worried about that, you just shouldn't buy one. But don't get jealous when your neighbor gets one and he tells you he's gone 2000 miles on one tank of gas.

Not much. We already had one battery pack replaced. Some minor $10 parts weren't working correctly. Instead of fixing it, they overnighted a new battery pack and it was installed. Kind of cool to see the battery pack outside the car. But I guess you can believe what you want.

There is an 8yr/100k warranty on the battery.

Congratulations. You actually found some accurate articles to post. Probably because it was done by the AP instead of some Keyboard Cammando blogger. Yes July Volt sales will be low because production for 2012 models will not start until later this month. That means those units will be sold in...

Because you are being ignorant. The others you are talking about are worthless bloggers who don't know what they are talking about. There are not 30,000 Volt's sitting around that can't be sold. If there are, please let me know. I'm sure my dealership would love to have them and sell every...

Wow imagine if I did that. Ran my life so that it pleased all the miserable people on ET. GM has a bad name if you want it to have a bad name. Most of my customers are Conquest customers (switching from another brand). They must be doing something right. And yes, as discussed earlier, there is...

What stat's would you like me to provide? I don't understand your argument. What are you trying to prove? That demand is not there when it is when every dealer is begging for these? It's a new product. The battery packs are difficult to manufacture. I know it's hard for you to understand, but...

No waiting list. We have three in stock. They are around $125k.

I'm afraid that your post casts doubt on your ability to form a reasonable argument. First off it was during the Bush White House that the corporate bailout's began. Obama simply continued them. It's amazing how you people think Bush and the Republican's ran the economy great and Obama is doing...

You are correct. Most dealerships are making very little or barely breaking even in the new car department. That simply gets the ball rolling for everything else.

Ah yes! The all too common mini deal. Let me tell you how little there is in new cars. If I sold a Cruze at full sticker, it would still be a mini deal. In new cars, it's all about the volume, It's all about hitting all the different bonus levels etc. Unfortunately I don't get the opportunity to...

Thanks for the kind words. I understand the frustration people would have towards GM but I don't understand all this bailout talk and such. They got a loan from the government while going through bankruptcy. So did other company's. Why is everybody still calling them "Government Motors". The...
