Pardon my ignorance,

I hope they do something about the interior of the Volt? It looks like a bunch of touch controls on the centre stack? I am not sure how that's effectively supposed to work, as I find the tactile differentiation of different controls to be the #1 way to mess with radio and HVAC without looking away from the road. Besides, it looks to tech-geeky to me.

That aside, the Volt is, in my mind, what a hybrid should have been from the very start. Even Matt "Smoking Tire" Farah has one and claims to have averaged some stupid good MPG number in it (something like 88mpg?). And I rather like the chunky looks outside.
