Dealers Find Most Buyers Drawn In To See The Volt But Walk Out With A Cruze Instead

General Motors is pushing hard to hit its U.S. sales target of 10,000 Volts this year. The sales staff at Mangino Chevrolet outside of Albany, N.Y.? Not so much.

The plug-in hybrid still provides "a wow factor" even six months after the store got its first one, says general manager Dave Groesbeck. But translating "wow" into a sale is, well, a tough sell.

It costs too much, until the price becomes comparable to a regular gasoline engine, sales will remain stagnant.

Now with GM's latest press release, you can temporarily trade your Volt in for a Cruze while the fire issues are being looked after lol.
