Title: Govt Motors only finds 281 fools in February dumb enough to buy it's Volt

GM sells just 281 Chevy Volts in February, Nissan only moves 67 Leafs

Peruse Chevrolet's February sales release, and you'll notice one number that's blatantly missing: the number of Chevy Volts sold. The number – a very modest 281 – is available in the company's detailed data (PDF), but it certainly isn't something that GM wants to highlight, apparently. Keeping the number quiet is a bit understandable, since it's lower than the 321 that Chevy sold in January.

Nissan doesn't have anything to brag about here, either (and it didn't avoiding any mention of the Leaf sales in its press release). Why? Well, back in January, the company sold 87 Leafs. In February? Just 67. Where does that leave us? Well, here's the big scorecard for all sales of these vehicles thus far:

    * Volt: 928
    * Leaf: 173

Ouch. The big questions, of course, revolve around one word: "Why?" Is ramping up production and deliveries still a problem? Is demand weak? Are unscrupulous dealers to blame? When will sales start to climb? And what are these numbers doing to plug-in vehicle work at other automakers? We don't know all the answers, but for more on February auto sales, click here.

Why do you guys seek news that is made up? Is it to prove yourselves right when you were wrong? Why are you living in a world of enforced self ignorance?

GM had originally planned to sell the Volt in only select areas of the country before 2012. "Right now we're selling every one we can make," GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson said, "so as shipments rise we expect sales to rise as well."Nissan has said 20,000 people have put down $99 deposits to be put on a waiting list for the car. Nissan plans to open a U.S. plant to build the Leaf in 2012. For now, all Leafs are built in Japan.

This is what the article said that you failed to go and read, look at who the sources are (right at the bottom of the article)........ If I'm stupid it's because I was born that way, not self made stupid like Liberals!!!!!

They won't be ready for nationwide sales until 2012 - that's why. These are teaser cars.,

Ok I'll bite... So if these are teasers then how do they plan on really selling them when they start getting produced in 2012????? Making it mandatory that people buy them so it looks like Obama Motors is going to be successful!!!! Thats the only way they will surpass current sales levels....

OK, first off the article I linked to from CNN explains in part what that roll out plan is and it kicks in 2012 - I have noticed that many on the so called right wing seem to not want to - willfully so - read information or do research.

Second part delves into some govt conspiracy for forced car sales which is just kooky.

So we went to your article and read it, would you like a summary???

"We won't be building any more of them in the future if sales keep sucking like they currently do"...... There you happy?????

I just love how Liberals word something to make it sound like a winner when it actually sucks butt!!!!!!

Ford bought a few of the Feb limited pre release Volts to check out and so far thinks quite highly of them.

Ford's encouraging their competition to continue wasting time, money, and infrastructure building silly pixie dust magic cars nobody wants? Smart business decision, good for Ford. I hope Government Motors will be dumb enough to take their bait. And that also means even less than 281 were actually purchased by genuine consumers.

I haven't read their official press release, just heard engineering opinion discussions. And most still don't believe the official Toyota findings either.
