Wish this was available now. I'd trade in my beat to hell 18mpg worth <$1000 B4000 on a Volt in a heartbeat.
I'm pulling for GM to recover then thrive and make good on my invested tax dollars. It's silly to bash GM now that they have our money. Go kick some asses Fritz and get this thing in production with a good IQS score!
In 2040, "I Love The Teens" will be filled with all sorts of snarky references to how trendy plug-in hybrids were around 2015. By then, VH1's current crop of sardonic hipsters will talk about the absurdity of a car that hauls around a fully electric drivetrain and a four cylinder IC engine, yet is supposedly a breakthrough in "green" efficiency.
@Mekkon: the program was slated to be here on the timeline with our without the gov buying GM stock. You should be pulling for GM to be successful or the taxpayers will never get their money back.
Not to be outdone, Geely has just completed the first preproduction Volt knock off. Codenamed "Ohm", spy photos of this disintegration vehicle to follow.
A huge leap forward? Really? They have been working on this thing for how many years and mules are just now being produced? They are still at least another year away from production by the sounds of it. This only serves to highlight the fact that the Generals production and engineering are woefully slow and still behind it's competitors.
@Ben Wojdyla: no shit- I'd say a fully electric vehicle in the time it takes to develop a normal car is pretty damn fantastic. The only reason why it seems like a long time is because GM's let everyone in on the design from day 1.
You don't hear about the 2015 cars right now, do you? Well, they're working on them.

I'm going to watch this.

Nice integration of the door handle. But as was said yesterday, it looks a little too much like a Lambo, and the raised top gives it a pinhead look.
The V-10 and handling probably make you forget all about that.
But what will you do with that R-8 you just got? Maybe this:

Mate, GM wouldn't voom if you put 4 million volts through it.
And don't give me any shit about GM just being pinin'.
