Chevy Volt in 2010, Really

Chevy Volt 2010

Chevy Volt in 2010? GM's Wagoner is leaning toward "definitely," which beats the "definitely, maybe" talk of just a few short months ago. Motor Trend weighs in.

Engineers at GM's Milford Proving Ground are working six-day weeks to bring the project in on time, and recently the automaker loosened its purse strings to give the team whatever it needs to make the deadline. Though all that extra cash could raise the Volt's sticker price by up to $18,000, apparently it's working -- speaking to reporters in San Francisco, Wagoner said "so far we're on schedule" and that "optimism is building" about the project. Motor Trend technical editor Frank Marcus recently witnessed the Volt's development team in action, and it's clear that GM is undertaking a massive operation to complete the revolutionary machine over the next 20 months.

Just don't expect it to look exactly (if at all) like the concept car pictured above. Word is that it was as slippery as a cynderblock with a sail attached in wind tunnel testing.
