To celebrate the centennial anniversary of the company on September 16, 2008, General Motors(www.gm.com) unveiled the production model of the Chevrolet Volt. Take a glimpse at what they put together. This car is sexy as hell, I wonder what the price tag will be. I’m assuming all the money you will be saving on gas with this electric car will instead be spent on the actual car… The Volt is ahead of schedule and is will be released to the general public in the year 2010. This is much more appealing to me than the hydrogen powered cars that may or may not ever be available for me to buy someday. And quite frankly they are all ugly… I’m sure the frame of the car doesn’t have to look like a clown/midget car to install this new technology. So why not put all these great advancements into a nice decent looking automobile, or even better and futuristic looking car, since that is where we are headed, the future! Anyway check out the gorgeous Chevrolet Volt in the video.
