Seriously.
GM is serious about the Chevy Volt Plug-in Hybrid

No.
Seriously. GM will build the Volt
The Chevy
Volt plug-in hybrid is a fantastic concept vehicle.
Still, it is 3 years away from reality according to GM,
and even then, it will be produced in limited numbers
according to GM via AutoWeek.
While America waits for this Toyota
Prius-fighter, Toyota will have sold more than a
million Prii, possibly several million. By the time the
Volt hits the streets, Toyota will also be using
lithium-ion batteries. In fact, by the time the first Volt
is sold, Toyota might have already sold more than a
million lithium-powered hybrid
cars. And, while GM brags about the plug-in potential
of the Volt, there is every reason to believe that Toyota
will also offer a plug-in option for its hybrids.
I'm certainly not trying to diminish GM's hybrid efforts,
and I'm extremely glad that GM is moving forward with the
Volt, but I get it already. GM is serious about producing
the Volt.
