Funny how press even bad press can increase sales of the volt. I wonder how many volt purchases were to capture the $7500 rebate. Then use the depretiation of the vehicle for tax purposes but not count the rebate in purchase price. Double dip on taxes.
More Press in Feb/March was good press as the silly "fire" stuff was totally resolved and the HOV cleaner volts came out. A volt bought in march 2012 would not be useful until the filing 2012 taxes (i.e in 2013).
