Chevy Volt Slogan-Mania
**Written by Doug Powers
The Chevy Volt, the $41,000 before-tax-credit, four-seat car that you might as well buy because you’re paying for it anyway, goes 40 miles on a charge before the engine that requires premium gasoline kicks in and will probably cost its buyers more than a few friendships because the “dude, can I bum your electrical outlet for a few hours so I can get back home?” thing will get old fast, is officially on the market.
This means that the search for the perfect Chevy Volt slogan is on. My current favorite is from Twitterer Gunservatively: “I could have had a V8.” John Hawkins suggests: “You’re rich, you love trees, you want your friends to know.”
Other slogans from the Twitterlanche of suggestions are here.
I’ll throw a couple on the pile just for Saturday fun, and feel free to add your own:
–Volt: Because “Coal” didn’t test well in the greenie demo
–The ultimate plugging machine
–This isn’t your father’s bailout
Yesterday, President Obama demonstrated just about how far the Volt can go on a single charge:
Meanwhile, John “I was against paying Mass. yacht taxes before I was for them” Kerry is on a quest to make electric and hybrid cars noisier. I tell ya, there’s no pleasing some people.

Lord Voltemort says buy
The Chevy Volt. Your daughter will never be in its backseat.

RS – Rich Sucker

R/T – Really Taxed
I bet the Volt is better than the Vega…I had the misfortune of owning one of those. It rusted on the way home from the dealer.
Chevy Volt – Double Grounded. Just in case you wet yourself.
The Volt: Who needs a slogan when the government pays the bills?
When are we going to get around asking how it is constitutional for the government to coerce people to buy a product?
for the world-weary poseur
Buy a Volt: it’s not like you need to go to work or anything.
Chevy Volt so easy not only a caveman can do it, so can Obama.
“go to work or anything.”
Very good spacey….
Could be any number of variants of your concept too.
Like:
The Chevy Volt. Its not like you have a job to get to on time or anything.
So quite good!
js
–that’s what I meant. Don’t they all take their bikes to the street corner where they stand all day holding placards that read ‘bush lied kids died!’?
space…
Between yours and Tx’s I’m not sure who wins.
The Chevy Volt. Sucked along by the trailing edge of technology.
Is equally outstanding.
The Chevy Volt. Its not like you have to get to a job on time.
LOL!
I can’t compete…
Hey Bob and Fly, dont forget the cost of financing.
How about “Your tax dollars at work”
Or an ad showing Obama behind the wheel – “Would you buy a used car from this man?”
How about “Obama – the man who forced you to buy government approved health insurance – now wants to see you behind the wheel of a car from Government Motors – or else.”
..I owe my soul to the company store..
Dealers are marking them up over MSRP already so, Government will pay even more for a fleet of them. We get to pay twice !
