Pricing comes from an article in this month's Fortune magazine. The Volt is packaged as the car to save GM and Detroit....or kill it off once and for all. I believe the UAW single-handedly brought the US auto industry to it's knees with crippling economic burden on the auto companies. Wages, benefits, pensions, and employment requirements that would cripple any company are a few reasons. The dont-give-a-***** work ethic they reinforce is another one.
Why don't Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, VW and Toyota build cars in Detroit? Think they know something about unions? Are their employees in S. Carolina and Alabama suffering without those unions? The UAW came to be in 1950's for good reason. But the world has changed 10x since then and their usefulness is long gone. The UAW is now a ball-and-chain around Detroit.
