Update on Chevy Volts --

Chevy Volt video from CNBC.com yesterday, October 12, 2011.

Data points:

• Sold so far this year (through September): about 3,800
• GM says will meet target of 10,000 this year (2,000/month for rest of year)
• Target for 2012: 60,000 (45K in US; 15K rest of world)
• Average income of Volt buyer: $175,000

I honestly have no idea why someone with an income of several  hundred thousand dollars (to get to the $175K average) would buy a Chevy Volt. My hunch: dealerships are counted in that average.
