That was the first thing I thought of also. I hate Apple design and this looks straight from their engineers. Maybe they will let you pick the color of the interior dash. Now that would be nice.

I'm liking it so far. Hopefully it'll deliver on the performance aspect.

Today's designs or past designs? I don't know how you could "hate" how the iPhone, iPod, MacBook Air, ect. look. Apple is by far the leader in electronics design. To each his own I guess.

I'm not so sure about leader... Everything Apple makes, someone else made cheaper, first, Apple is just good at marketing... The only exception to this is the touchscreen on the iPhone... Not gonna turn this into an Apple discussion, but the Macbook Air is a mere .1 inches thinner than laptops that existed for a long time, and they came with cd/dvd drives and were fully featured with all ports, not a stripped down laptop... iPhone - my Blackberry does everything the iPhone does, and it's an old model, in fact, up until recent, it had much faster internet than iPhone as well; except the touchscreen thing... and iPods, don't get me started on the requirement to use itunes just to get music to one (or a third party uploader)

To contribute to this thread though - Chevy is on the right track, lets see if they truly come through... I'm just curious why it's only 40 miles without the engine - must be a pretty smallish battery still...

If its anything like my laptop's li-ion battery you'll only be getting 5 miles on battery use after 5 years.
