Despite continuing hardships at General Motors, the ailing automaker's sales that the all-new Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric vehicle is still on track to reach showrooms in late 2010. GM stresses that despite setbacks and financial difficulties, the automaker is pushing ahead with important new products, such as the Volt.
GM has a number of crucial vehicles in its development pipeline. These not only include the Volt, but also the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox and the Cadillac SRX. These vehicles remain crucial to GM’s success says one Ohio Chevrolet dealer as the ailing automaker hopes to continue to lure customers to dealerships. GM has had success with recent models, such as the latest Chevy Malibu and the Pontiac Solstice, both of which showed that GM was still capable of designing competitive vehicles. Unfortunately, GM is in a tough position trying to continue such momentum amid slumping sales and looming bankruptcy.
The automaker faces a June 1st deadline to restructure. If the restructuring efforts are not enough, GM may be forced into bankruptcy. Already Chrysler has fallen into bankruptcy, and New Orleans Chevrolet dealers fear that GM may be next. Despite the lofty challenges, the Volt remains on schedule.
GM and Chevy have been putting significant emphasis on the Volt at auto shows and in advertising and promotions. With its release, Cleveland Chevrolet dealers will be able to convince buyers that the automaker is on the cutting edge of fuel efficient technology. With Saturn, Pontiac, Saab, and Hummer leaving the GM umbrella, the automaker is likely to continue its emphasis on the upcoming Volt.
