Volt Prodution Hiatus

[CCIE]

I'm guessing this has more to do with the other models made at this plant. But, there will be a production hiatus for the last six weeks of the year.

Compared to the Lacross and the CT6 the Volt and Impala are doing OK on inventory levels although the Volt is a bit high at 100...

The Lacross has a whopping 300 days inventory for September 2017! Yikes!

And while this is only a single instance, the dealer I bought from is having no trouble selling lots of Bolts... but Volt sales have dropped off a cliff. He personally sold 10 Volts in the 3 months leading up to the Bolt release in Texas. In the 3 months since then, he has sold 4 volts and 20 Bolts.

Please tell me the shutdown is for a VoltUV.

Here's the September sales report for GM. This factory produces the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Impala, and Chevrolet Volt. Only the Impala seems to be holding its own.
