GM slashes price of Chevrolet Volt to boost stalling sales Brent Snavely / Free Press Volt sales declined 4.3% in May to 1,607 while industry sales increased 8.2%. Through the first five months of this year, Volt trails both the much more expensive Tesla Model S and the smaller, less-expensive Nissan Leaf. At one time, GM expected to be building between 60,000 and 100,000 Volts annually, but with sales this year through May of 7,157, that goal has been reassessed. READ MORE HERE

Very cool. I'd love to do something like this in Michigan.

Welcome to the Fusion Energi Forum I noticed a lot of import converts too.

Sunset metallic sounds interesting.

Robert Bosch pulls off another one :victory:

Nice blog, Doug. :) We're glad that you've decided to share your blog with us! :hi5: I like the following comment on your blog and I am certain other agree too: It's American I left American cars in the early 90's and didn't look back until now. I always wanted to buy American, but the look, quality and features just weren't there until now. The big three are making much better cars than ever and Ford's quality rankings are up there with Toyota in many areas. It's definitely time to come back to American car brands.

Welcome to the site. I'm here in MI too. :)

Good points here. If I hit another vehicle with my 1969 Mustang, it's like I'm running into a brick wall = 0 protection. My 2008 Mustang on the other hand might seem to have cheaper / flexible components, however, it has crash protection. As a side note, my 1969 Mustang has the 428 SCJ engine and weighs about 3069 lbs. The Fusion's in at 4,000 lbs.

:happy feet:

There are from the Detroit Auto Show - sorry I couldn't get them posted sooner

Placed it on the right side of the homepage - ;)

We'll get it on the front page of the site right away. Nice find! ! !

There will probably be a Fusion Energi at the Detroit Auto Show - I'll try to snap some photos of the trunk / rear seat area.

After a 4+ year stint in Las Vegas, NV for Shelby American, I am back in Dearborn, Michigan. :) Anyone else here in MI?

Is anyone here going to the Detroit Auto Show? I'll be there 24x7 with Shelby American.

I hope Ford puts a press release out when they begin production! :)

This is truly odd? ? ? It's gotta be a mistake.

Chris is a pretty good writer too. :headscratch:

Mexico has received a bad rap for a long time, but Latin American countries have been producing quality vehicles are a long time.

I was thinking about an Escape and Taurus Energi model. I wonder if that will ever happen?

It's truly amazing to see how Ford has come in regard to their Hybrid technology is just a few short years. :rockon:

If the Fusion Energi wheels are unique, this would explain the lack of options.

Has anyone heard that production of the Fusion Energi has been delayed on early February? ? ?

A lot of manufacturers are going with the mobility kit for two reasons: 1. Weight savings is critical. 2. Tires construction is better than ever before. The problem though, if you do have a failure with the mobility kit while traveling at night or on a weekend. :rant:

We ought to put together a list of order details and due dates like on the Fusion Hybrid Forum
