One second, the first car. Are the rims spinning? Not much time ago there was a pic of this Vette where I asked about the rims, they seemed to me false.

i almost can't believe this car will look so cool, and the dash seems to be preety decent as well, so I expect this to be a real sales hit, if not overpriced. Can't wait to see this unveiled.

This certainly has winner stamped all over it in the looks department ... if the electric drive works even close to the forecast then it's sure to bring GM back from the brink ... I LOVE IT

Eco cars can look nice, but God Almighty, they are costly!!!!!! I can't imagine what the price of this car is going to be. Something tells me I don't want to know.

I see seat heater buttons... Hmmm. I wonder how the range will suffer with those turned on.

You can get a Civic Hybrid with heated seats for '09, so they're apparently not so much draw that they affect range or mpg. They probably draw less current than normal consumers like headlamps or the wiper motor. And remember, the Volt is a hybrid, not a pure electric.

The white center stack is amusing, but I would imagine it would reflect horribly into the windshield. Wouldn't want to find all those "buttons" you can't feel while driving either. Like having one giant touch screen...you'll have to look away from the road to operate just about any function here (though I'm sure there will be redundant controls on the steering wheel). Overall, nice job GM...

Even without a plug-in hybrid, this car will sell very well. The design and execution is right on for an affordable compact car. But how will this car save GM when they need 35k or more per car to score any profit?
Answer is:
The extensive research for Lithium Ion plug-in technology from this car can be applied to other cars down the line. This car essentially pays for this milestone investment.
My only hope is this technology will fly and people will pay for plug-in capability on regular GM cars.
I'm very happy GM is making this car but want to clarify that
