It seemed, in my experience, like a combination of that (plus lower post-sale service expectations) and just not wanting to learn anything new. There were plenty of times where the staff didn’t even understand the most basic part of a Volt; the whole plug-in aspect.

Said it before and I will say it again...The MAXX was a great car. It was semi-embarrassing if you have a fragile ego, but I could have cared less. Shit, the thing had 200 hp.
