I work in the DC market. I say the two don't compare because people aren't coming in saying they are looking at the Honda's as well. If they do, they usually always go with the Chevy. I believe that they are living off of their past. Many repeat Honda buyers, whereas most of my customers do not currently own a GM product. There is also a large contigency of people, especially in the DC area, that will never buy an American car no matter what. I don't really know the exact stats. The Honda store is a few minutes from our Chevy store and I don't go there very often. I know their inventory has been hit a little bit by the Japan shortages. We have too, but only with certain colors. They do plenty of business and I believe they are now the number one store in Balt/DC area. I know Chevy sells more than them but I think that is more because they have more product range. Honda does not have any pick ups, commercial vehicles, sports cars, or full size suv's.
Thank you. Another useless article proving nothing. The Leaf is beating the Volt? We are talking about a 1000 cars. The dealership I work at alone has 1500 cars in stock. 1000 cars is nothing. The amount Nissan and Chevy are producing is miniscule. They are just making sure everything is good and the demand is there before ramping repoduction. Why don't we see how things go in a year when they have made 60,000 of them?
GMâs Chevrolet Volt Will Miss 2011 Sales Target http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...rise-2-8-as-u-s-probes-gm-plug-in-hybrid.html
The Chevy dealer in Reno had four Volt's on the lot and I was told I could get them "well under sticker" whatever that means. What happened to the GM fanboy? Killed himself? They've sold less than 7,000 units and the things catch fire. Nish!
