Chevy Volt To Resume Production One Week Early Following Record Sales

surewouldoutlaw writes "On the heels of the news that the Chevy Volt had a record month, selling 2,289 units in March, the Detroit-Hamtramck plant where the car is made will be resuming production of the car one week early, reducing a five-week shutdown to just four weeks, the United Auto Workers union said Tuesday. The shutdown had been put in place to re-align supply with demand. Volt workers have also begun to lash out at Republican presidential candidates' criticisms of the car: 'They're attacking our car to get at the President...But our car is going to change the way America does business. It's a breath of fresh air.'"

    I'm convinced a car that costs much more to own and operate than traditional vehicles is going to change the world. It's going to send GM back into bankruptcy. That will change the world for sure.

    My guess is government car fleets are being stuffed with these shit-cans for blatantly political reasons.
