Have You Seen The New Volt?

I saw it in person last Saturday in Santa Monica, CA.
- Personally, I don't really care what it looks like. Its the power plant I'm interested in. It essentially looks like a Malibu with softer lines.
- The prototype is trailered and barely runs. I expect the production performance to me about on par with the Prius but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. As a series hybrid, they could give it awesome torque without impacting efficiency in normal driving. As a rule, however, GM and the rest of the auto manufacturers have tended to wimp out their electrics so they don't compete with their high margin performance product lines.
- The features, I expect will be standard GM stuff. Prototypes never are good indicators for this.
- I'm sure the price will be higher than target. My bet is around $40K
