At least it had a wonderful launch back in 2009<\/strong><\/p>

From Cliff Thies:<\/p>

The Volt is not quite gathering steam. Even with huge subsidies from the tax-serfs of the USSA, the windmill-powered Chevy Volt is going nowhere. Could it be that, even after the subsidies, the thing costs three times as much as a comparable hybrid, drains the entire electric grid when it is plugged in, has limited performance and cruising range, and is more expensive to maintain than a French maid at a swank New York hotel. <\/p>

<\/a>Only 125 of the things were sold last month. Meanwhile, 500 of them are listed on cars.com and who knows how many more litter the showrooms of Chevy dealers.<\/p>

Oh, and this news is just in: the government of the USSA has raised the average fuel efficiency standard to 55 MPG. Not even a Toyota Prius hybrid gets that kind of mileage. But, thanks to the magic that is government, voila!, there it is. <\/p>

Next, the government will slow down the aging process, develop lawn grass that never needs mowing, make rivers run upstream and turn the oceans of the world into lemonade.<\/p>
