An on-topic return to this thread...

People who are following this will have seen by now that GM is considering an additional week of production suspension during traditional summer shutdown.

On the other hand, Volt had some good news last month: March was its best ever month, with 2,289 sold.

And for the skeptics (include me!) who wonder how much that number was padded by fleet/commercial sales, it was apparently only a small fraction (160 sales - uncredited source, though).

EDIT... One interesting sale, if you're following the political bickering that has become connected to the car: former President George W Bush just bought one (for his son).
