The line starts over here, the salesmen will be salivating The 500 dealers should be chosen by their customer satisfaction surveys.   </blockquote> Might as well go one step further and take sates orders for future delivery as I suggested earlier. I still believe that GM could have a very effective event wherein they find out exactly what the demand level is for the Volt. By taking deposits with the orders like Tesla did, they can show collections on their ledger sheet and give the vehicles ordered on July 4th name plates with "Independence Day Edition" on them. I'm sure earlier buyers would love to own a special edition Volt! Happy trails to you 'til we meet again.
