I had been wanting a Volt since they went on the market.  Since I was planning to retire on July 1st, 2012, I decided that ordering a new Volt would be my retirement gift to myself.  I ordered my 2013 Chrystal red tintcoat, loaded Volt on 07/08/2012, It came off the assembly line on 09/11/2012, and I took delivery on 09/29/2012 !  I love this car !
