I do have issue with disguising the ICE operation. I think it should be a LOT more obvious that you are going to start burning fuel, or are burning fuel. Perhaps a personal preference, perhaps pandering to soft consumers, but If I bought something as presumptuously named as "volt" and discovered I had been running tons of fuel through it then I would be a little pissed, as someone who is trying to reduce petrol dependencies.

I have to wonder what the range extender is doing to cost/red tape/epa concerns/delays to market. And I have to wonder if GM wants to delay its release.
