I don't believe the Volt hype either. Not too along ago they were promising a hydro car for release about now. Funny that that car has been forgotten. Rolling hydrogen fuel cells chassis with interchangeable body styles, all digital steering braking controls yadda yadda yadda.

As mentioned above they'd be better off just starting the production of the EV-1 if they were really doing all this for an automotive product. Unless by "product" you mean bail-outs and green-washing, then the Volt is perfect.

They've (GM) has cried wolf too many times for me take them seriously anymore when it comes to anything other than the combustion engine and how they're pushing the HP of the formentioned engines.
