Of the "almost 1000 unsold", over 300 are used by GM for engineering evaluation (longer-term testing) and nearly 400 are "dealer demos" that are not supposed to be sold - their purpose is to let people see and drive the car. It'll be a while before those demos are sold.
Of COURSE July only sold 125 Volts since the plant went down in JUNE so there weren't any more in the pipeline!

Lexus has a hybrid that has fuel economy better than the Volt, 43 mpg vs 33 mpg and costs $10,000 less. Be honest - would you rather be driving a Lexus with Lexus service, luxury and reliability or a Chevrolet with a yet to be demonstrated reliability? On top of that it costs less and is projected to hold its value better. Tough choice?
