This brings up a very interesting idea. Sell the Volt. What if GM goes though all of the costing and decides it cannot compete because of the labor costs? What if selling the entire program to Tata of India for example would result in car that costs only $25,000 and can be produced in the millions of units with very high quality (don‘t say it‘s not possible - remember what they said about Japanese cars when they first came to America)? What if the revenue generated from that sale allows GM to remain in business? All probing questions. Hummm, Tesla buying the Volt. Think of the possible cost reductions...
I for one would love to see GM carry the ball into the end zone. A rebirth of the American auto industry. We would once again be able to hold our heads up high when traveling around the world, "Oh, you have the Prius? We have the Volt." The place goes quiet and they have to nod their heads in agreement. Priceless.
Oh, they had a 2.350 lb Saturn in production for over 10 years, but they scrapped it to make bigger heavier cars, just in time for $5 gallon gasoline. God help GM.......
