They're not ceasing production, so Chevydude - I'm not sure I understand your "sleeping with the fishes" comment...They're idling the plant for a few weeks to let inventory settle down to mirror demand. 
And for the record, we never acted like you were the devil...funny how things are remembered.... |
They have created their own problem here. This news is already a couple of days old, yet I sit down and watch a couple programs tonight on TDC and I have been subjected to commercial after commercial for the Volt. They stuffed commercials for the thing into the Superbowl as well... and that one was particularly revolting "The car America HAD to build..."
They know the car is radioactive right now and a political football and they don't have the sense to shut up about it? Everyone knows about the Volt already, so advertising it incessantly is only annoying people who wouldn't buy it anyway and making them dislike the brand.
They need to cool it and do some sort of tastful reworking of the commercials and reintroduce the car like any other car. I do not appreciate being hit over the head with this thing every time I turn on the TV.
