Every new car ever built losses money with the first cars built. The main thing is how quickly can a car turn profitable. I remember a thread on here about the camaro and how many had to be sold before it turned profitable. The difference was that it didn't need to sell near as many cars as the volt and it sells a lot more units. That's a win in my book when your talking making money in business. I think the volt it a great car ,and I wouldn't mind owning one. However, I also believe that GM got ahead of themselves with it. I don't see this car ever being profitable with the steep hill it has to climb and in the end making money is what it's all about. If the Volt doesn't do that then it's a fail in my mind.
