<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">After three years of incentives, rebates and tax credits the VOLT is still an abysmal failure sales wise.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The latest promotion is to reduce the sticker &ldquo;base&rdquo; price by $5,000 bringing it down to $34,995. What a deal at $34,995, plus options and tax. With all that you still end up with an upscale golf cart costing around $40,000 that you can drive around and show your &ldquo;green friends&rdquo; what you are doing for the environment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The 2014 models are coming out soon so GM has cut the prices on the 2012 models still in stock by $5,000 and the 2013 models still in stock by $4,000.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">If you are GM wouldn&rsquo;t you begin to wonder about your products viability when you still have two year old cars in inventory.</span><br />
