Had to share "Propped up by big Gub’ment, the Volt is an awful piece of crap and was a ginormous flop in 2011…

The Commies didn’t put this much faith in their pieces of state crap but the good ol’ USA and Chevy did.

by Mike Zimmer, Monkeys Uncle

The Volt. The Electric car. Barf. It sucks. Just ask anyone, including ze Germans. But now, it’s been officially derided as one of the worst product flops of 2011 (http://247wallst.com/2011/12/27/the-...ops-of-2011/2/).

Worse, it’s true, even elected officials are getting a good whiff of this stinker: (via http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/16192)

“It just goes to show there are certain folks that will spend anything to get their vision of what people should do,” said State Representative Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills. “It’s a glaring example of the failure of central planning trying to force citizens to purchase something they may not want. … They should let the free market make those decisions.”

“This might be the most government-supported car since the Trabant,” said Hohman, referring to the car produced by the former Communist state of East Germany."
