Should General Motors Employees Drive Volts?

Indisputable fact: the 2011 Chevy Volt is not one of the company's greatest hits. Although major safety issues seem to have been resolved, nobody's saying the recalled, revamped Volts are the best cars they've ever driven--only that they're not likelier than other cars to catch fire.

No points for guessing that, in the company's internal efforts to encourage employees to model the company's products, General Motors is nudging its employees to choose one of the couple of thousand of unsold Volts with which the company is stuck:

How bad is that? If I work for an employer who gives me free or discounted merchandise to model, is it a scandal if the freebies aren't the employer's most popular product?
