This is a cool website. I love GM and have had one since i was 17 so i knw how to love a GM. When i saw the Volt it was to my liking. when i heard about it back in 06 i was ready for it then. I thought it was a joke that they wuld go and make one. Now it less then months from be tyme to hit the street and i cant wait to see it and drove one. I dont knw if ill be able to take one home for good but i knw after a yr of it being out ill make it a goal to buy one too.

I keep hearing that GM is still trying to figure out which market areas to target for their initial vehicle sales. Wouldn’t this information already be obvious using the list started by this website?

I’d also like to see this list be utilized to offer folks first dibs on buying the vehicle! I know that I’m ready to put down a deposit.

Lyle! We are keeping a close eye on this Volt issue and we are very attuned to many years of GM organization! We are of the old GM family from back after WWII.

Of Course! you got 10,000 people signed up to get a Volt. Probably 9,000 of them probably don’t believe that GM (Chevy) will get such a vehicle on the road, ever! I guess we will just have to wait for NEW BATTERY TECHNOLOGY. Or maybe we can just wait until we all can just fly by ourselves.

Me and mine are prepared to buy at the right price as quoted providing, it is as good as proposed in the engineering designs.

Let’s go Chevrolet or is that word, to old?

Would General Motors consider developing a waiting list of people for the Chevy Volt? It could be a plan like this:

(1) General Motors would agree to sell the Volt at a stated price, for example, $40,000, minus the deduction stated in # 2.

(2) People who would now voluntarily sign up to buy the Volt would pay that price immediately, but discounted with a deduction of 10% for each year that they had to wait for delivery. The deduction would be $4,000 each for two years, creating a $32,000 cost for each customer.

(3) General Motors would agree to refund the $32,00,or most of it, to be determined, if it were to fail to produce the Volt.

I hope that General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford can survive these difficult times.

Waiting list? I don’t want to sign-up to a waiting list for the VOLT.

I WANT TO FINANCE A PURCHASE OF A VOLT NOW!

Here is what GM needs to do:

1. Outfit a current concept VOLT in every GM Dealer showroom across the US. -GM needs to move more traffic into their showrooms ASAP and contiue to build ‘buzz’ on this vehicle. While customers will not be able to test drive the vehicle yet, they could at least see it, sit inside, view console and features, learn more about it etc.

2. Set a price for the VOLT ($30,000?) Customers who purchase in advance get an attractive (10%?) special discount, which ends before the official VOLT launch date.

3. Offer a pre-payment finance option for the VOLT, which allows customers to make monthly payments now, accepting delivery of vehicle at future date ie. late 2010 or early 2011. Getting a couple years head start on the payments allows customers to pay it off soon after delivery. Imagine buying a VOLT on a 36mo finance and having it paid off a year after delivery? -Getting cash commitment in hand upfront now also helps GM. Its a win-win.

4. Advertising campaign notifying potential customers of ability to view VOLT in GM Dealer showrooms and finance advance purchases with 10% special discount.

A little more creativity goes a long way….
