Should GM offer pre-orders of the Volt?

PieNsky · 05-10-2009, 12:38 AM

It will certainly be a hit

PewterPhil · 05-10-2009, 12:46 AM

I say yes because I would like to see if it is handled any differently. Problem is that the excitement over the Volt will be nothing compared to the Camaro so I doubt anyone will really care.

Great idea, let me hand my dealer a wad of cash right now so I can get on a list somewhere...this list thing is so important, you know...all the special treatments we get

Well, if you place your order now, you might actually get it before Toyota releases their solar-powered vehicle that gets 50 miles at night and 40 on a bright sunny day.

Sorry I didn't know which way to vote seeing as how I couldn't figure out which option excited me more...

you could probably walk on to the lot and buy one before any of the pre orders are fulfilled.....so whats the point

LOL I don't think they should. They already screwed our camaro preorders up and making us go crazy. I hope gm would learn from this expirence and not do it again to other people who would want this car

Why shouldn't they offer pre-orders? It helps the company out, they'd be foolish not to. Also, I don't see the Volt as being too much of a traffic bringer for dealerships, unlike the Camaro. I imagine that the entire process should be a lot simpler for the Volt's rollout.

HA HA HA! If it would turn into the fiasco like this one, then even more will be POed!

My dad put a $200.00 deposit on one in Ocotber of 2008 at the dealership I ordered my Camaro from (Village Chev in Wayzata, MN) and is guarenteed in writing MSRP. Anyone in MN, these people are great to deal with...
