Given that it is failing in the US (article below) will Holden still bring it over this way for it to do the same locally?? or is it too late in that decision path..
Ford must be smiling with this as why dip your finger in battery acid when your biggest competitor is being made to by it's new owners (US gov) Low demand forces GM to suspend Volt production 11:00 AM Tuesday Mar 6, 2012 General Motors is suspending production of its Chevrolet Volt electric car for five weeks in hopes of reducing inventory to meet lower-than-expected demand. A GM spokesman said that the company will shut down production of the Volt from March 19 until April 23. Spokesman Chris Lee says that GM is trying to maintain proper inventory while matching production to demand. Chevrolet sold 1,023 Volts last month. It sold 7,671 last year, below its original goal of 10,000 cars. It will be sold in New Zealand as the Holden Volt. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/n...ectid=10790143 |
