Blistering Sales Pace Continues

The transition to electric cars continues at a blistering pace. GM's January 2011 sales figures totaled 178,897 units, including - drum roll please - 321 Chevy Volts! This was down from December 2010 when it sold 326 of these babies.  The press release says that (I kid you not!) demand has been "red hot." GM plans to "build on the Volt's momentum", although how this may happen is a little difficult to see right now. All is well, though, because the Volt outpaced the Nissan Leaf's sizzling January sales of 87. I have to stop and sit down while a patriotic surge ripples through my body!

Well, there you have it, the car that is leading the transformation of Detroit and the driving habits of a nation.  Good show, jolly good show!
