Where's the Volt? It's October 1st and no sign of it

As I recall the only date ever given (once they zeroed in on a month) was December 2010.
To my knowledge they are still planning a December release.

15 supporters getting cars for 3 months use in late October. Sales begin December in a few markets. 2012 for the rest of us.

 

The funny thing is, the link doesn't mention an Oct release, neither does the link in the story to the AP source for the story.

Regardless, I agree making 15 cars available to a few supporters in Oct doesn't count. Especially if they gag them. I would hope we get some real world data from them.

 

They seem to have freedom to use and report. Looking forward to those reports.

 

You are correct, my apologies.
Again, I am just saying I never heard this, it didn't seem to ever be anything GM claimed. Sure, some Volt fanatics may have claimed it, or possibly some editor thought it made a good headline.
I don't see anywhere where the people that wrote the article attributed this statement to.

I do very much look forward to hearing some hands on reviews, especially about CS mode. I am very skeptical they cane reach the mid 30s, but would be happy to be proven wrong.

 

This dealer expects delivery in 76 days (Dec-16). Lyle in 69 days (Dec-09).

Talked to one of the marketing guys for the Volt today. He said production starts December of 10. Dealer stocks in Jan of 11. Not sure how true that is because he also said it has a 3 gal tank and suppose to take the Volt over 300 miles when fully charged and fully fueled. I wanted to test drive one today but the line's too long.

 

Part of the problem with GM is most of the information is rumor.
Ed says one thing but without an actual 'official' notice. Marketing says another, dealers yet another and press releases yet something else.
I very much look forward to getting the wheels on the road so we can get some real world data.

 

You keep thinking of the Volt as a product, while I think of it as a marketing ploy to appease the Government stockholder and confuse consumers into believing GM has a clue. Last I heard, GM 'plans' to make 5000 a year, less than 2 weeks of Prius sales in the US.

 

LOL so the volt is a myth, just like Obomo's birth certificate. lmao

 

45,000 a year

GM will increase Volt production by 50% - to 45,000 units - in 2012 — Autoblog

 

that's 2 years from now. just in time to fail. perfect. how can the public wait for their chance at an unobtainable vehicle? What, are they trying to mimic the Prius wait lists? Toyota lost ALOT of sales due to the demand versus availabilty. I waited...2 neighbors did not. That's not good for any company, let alone a bailed-out one. get the thing into as many hands and driveways as possible...if that really is the intent...if you really believe this vehicle a 'game changer'. sorry, i just LOL as i typed 'game changer' in a volt thread....
