By Andrew Webster - Goodcleantech.com - While Chevy Volts may not be flying out of dealerships, according to GM the plug-in hybrid has at least helped sell another car: the Chevrolet Cruze.
The Cruze has been the best selling compact car in the United States the past two months, and GM attriutes much of that success to the image created by the Volt. According to the auto giant, since April more than 200,000 web users that have searched for information on the Volt have also researched the Cruze.
"As far as image goes," said Chevy dealer Inder Dosanih, "the Volt is huge because it's also helping sell the Cruze."
Sales of the Volt itself, meanwhile, are expected to rise as GM increases availability. By the end of 2011 the number of dealerships selling Volts will increase from 500 to 2,600 in the U.S. Currently 700 units are being shipped to nine states for use as demo units.
