Rogers Announces Arrival of Chevrolet Volt

Rogers Auto Group is pleased to announce the arrival of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt.  Named the 2011 Motor Trend Car of the Year, this revolutionary new hybrid is the most fuel efficient car sold with a combustion engine in the United States.  The Volt charges on a standard household outlet and can run up to 40 miles on electricity alone before the gasoline-powered combustion engine kicks in as a backup.  The Volt will take you wherever you need to go, whether it's a short daily commute to work or a longer road trip, and you will be amazed by the smooth quietness of this electric car.
