GM: the Chevrolet Volt is dead. Cancelled as of 2019



(Img from one of my favourite Volt threads: Photoshop fun: GM Volt with racing disc wheel covers (and fender skirts.. and more!) )

GM has announced the impending closure of a number of North American factories because they don't produce pickup trucks or SUV's.

(Just a matter of time before GM cancels all cars, like Ford has?)

Apparently the Volt is one of the casualties:

Quote:
A GM spokesperson told Jalopnik over the phone: “We are ending production of the Volt March 1, 2019.” When asked whether the Volt will return at some point, the representative said she could not comment on future products.



In addition, GM just put out a press release saying production will stop next year at the Hamtramck plant, as well as at a four other assembly locations.

Here's the 2nd gen Volt:
