General Motors will suspend Chevrolet Volt production from March 19th to April 23rd in order to bring supply of the plug-in hybrid car in line with demand, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Chevrolet sold 1,023 Volts in February, which up from 603 in January, but far from the 60,000-unit annual output originally planned for when the car was launched in December, 2010. Less than 8,000 Volts were sold in all of 2011.

GM Suspending Chevy Volt Production Due To Low DGM suspending Chevy Volt production due to low demandemand
Are you high?
oh well, shucks. duh...
Citizens are broke out here and not going to spend 40,000 on this.
Each Chevy Volt costs the American taxpayer 200.000$. Do you see Obama driving one? Oh, if he did, he'd probably win the Nobel peace prize for victory at Daytona.
Even with gas at near $4 a gallon, GM still can't sell the Volt. Maybe they should rename it the Joke!
Another liberal pipe dream that has cost the taxpayers millions if not billions.
They have said this before, when there was indeed demand. They don't want to produce them. And the public is falling for it again.
Matter of fact, Joe didn't you have a thread up not too long ago about this?
They wouldn't sell the electric cars they would only lease them. Then when the lease was up GM or whoever took possession of the cars and wouldn't sell them to the people?
Instead, the cars were destroyed and sold for scrap.
Since he likes them so much, maybe presbo will have the govt. purchase them for his and her travel entourage
Another example of a failed administration.They can't even pay us to buy this car.
$40,000? so maybe I should just buy a $20K car and hope I don't spend $20K in gas over the years?
Same for the prius. Do the math, buy a cheaper car that gets almost as much gas mileage and take all those thousands and figure how much gas you would need to buy before spending it all. bet you'll still have money in your pocket when you finally dump the car. and don't forget those batteries need replacing after 5 years. to the tune of thousands of dollars, making the car virtually worthless and the cheap car you bought will still be worth something after 5 years. It's definately a money losing proposition. But don't tell all those libs that!
I would never buy the Chevy Dolt or any other government motors crap!
I've seen what they did to their salaried worker when the company went bankrupt.
DON'T HELP THEM BY BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS!
Another Obama failure.
If they actually had a usable range and cost a reasonable price there would actually be a demand.
The EV-1 was a good example as alluded to earlier by 11:48. It had a usable range and did wnat it was advertised to do. GM screwed up on that one by selling out their customers.
Nobody wants to buy an Obmamobile.
most hybrids and cars that get real high millage you have to use premium gas in them

I agree - I wouldn't touch a (GM) -Government Motors vehicle with a 30 foot pole.
Especially after what the government did to the common & preferred share stockholders. They gave the unions a preferential deal over the stockholders position. Like I said - I won't do business with GM ever again.
