The Volt only failed because Americans dont want electric cars in large enough numbers to make them viable without non-free market forces interfering. Actually it still failed despite the Government literally paying people to buy them. Making excuses like these is ridiculous.
If it was about Obama or the bailouts, people wouldn't be buying ANY GM or Chrysler products. Chevy is selling Camaros left and right. The Silverado is either the #1 or #2 vehicle sold in the US. Cruzes are flying off the shelves. Dodge sells every Challenger they make, and the Rams are huge sellers as well. Americans just dont want to drive electric cars, plain and simple.
