During all of this no one in their right mind should have realistically thought that this car would sell enough at the price they marked it at to turn a profit. I realize the government forced this since they are majority shareholders. But it's a clear example of good thought, terrible execution.
A lot wrong here.

But suffice it to say the Volt was not forced by the government. Simply check the date the Volt was introduced at the auto show. Well before the bankruptcy.
