Chevy Volt a lemon for GM. Current administration makes sour lemonade.

Well, they came out with a nice lease program on the Volt and I have been long over due for a new car, so I bought a Volt. 16 days so far and no gas. Here's a picture of it.

Let the negative comments begin!

Yeah, they won't sell so they're leasing with huge incentives. Lease for $350/month for 3Y which is the same as the Leaf. That's a >$7,500 incentive (MSRP to MSRP). Selling like hotcakes!

In the new consumer reports they are rated as having one of the highest satisfaction rates of all autos

Congrats. Looks nice.

How far is it from your home to your job?

Why all the Volt bashing? I can see how the oil companies would hate them. I can see how their "think tanks" may put out negative propaganda about them. I can see how gullible righties would suck-up this propaganda and internalize it but..........oh, I just answered the question.

This is probably a lie, wilburbear, given that it is also advertised with a Chevy Volt google ad. The lie might be fabricated but if the Volt's selling less than 1,000 units per month, <b>IT'S STILL A FLOP!</b>

That's not a bad deal for a daily commute car.

Hope the volt succeed and get its cost down with each iteration, at least gm is doing something. Cant fault them for trying to innovate.

Havent seen a single volt on the street yet...and i am in ny metro area which is full of yappies...

I hardly consider $2600 in lease money as a huge incentive. What's the difference whether they are purchased or leased? They are all sold. I am not a lease kind of person but it just made sense for me.

You won't state your commute distance or otherwise respond so I'll assume the car is not meeting your needs and is a piece of shit.

You ok? The Volt leases at $350 for 3 years. The deposit is $500 higher than the LEAF, but otherwise it's the same terms. IOW, they've just discounted the car to the MSRP of the LEAF + $500.
