Default Video: Sneak peek at production Chevy Volt





Very few vehicles have received the level of attention the Chevy Volt has been given, and we're still nearly three years before production begins. The reason for all the press is obvious. If GM can produce what they're promising with the Volt, with plug-in power and the ability to drive 40 miles on electricity alone, it'll be a game changer. The local Detroit NBC affiliate got access to the Volt design studio and brought their cameras with them. During the two minute piece, we're given a quick peek at the more rounded front end of the production model. You can see a headlight, a curvier bumper and little else, but it's enough to show that GM is on the right track.

The front looks great.

GM needs to bring this to market as fast as possible (while maintaining quality). Three years will be too long.

bummer, the low slung roof was what I loved about the car. Oh well, leave it to GM to butcher it.

I'd buy it. But I'd also want to be able to run it as a two mode hybrid and that can't be done so then I probably wouldn't buy it. Or maybe I'd buy it for the wife. Except Im not married.
