Demand for the Coal-Powered Chevrolet Volt Has Been "Red Hot"

Link here.

GM sold 321 Chevy Volts in January, five less than they sold the month before.

GM says they are selling Volts as fast as they can make them. [They must be making them by hand.]
“Right now we’re selling every one we can make,” GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson said, “so as shipments rise we expect sales to rise as well.”
It should be noted that GM has said in the past they expect to lose money on every Chevy Volt that they sell.

This report comes out about the same time that Consumer Reports said the Volt makes little economic sense.  Especially since the Volt costs more than the Cadillac.

I can't make this stuff up.
