Hybrid Cars

Unleashed as a concept car in 2007 and touted to be the savior of the General’s future, the Chevy Volt does not appear to be any closer to American driveways.

Now, Chevy is on the heels of the worst two economic years in company history. So, the fact that the Volt is still even an idea, or any other bowtie ride for that matter, is good news. But, for a car that the company is hinging so much of their “future success” on, it seems like they should be cranking these things out.

Well, not yet. But they are getting closer.

The pre-production model was unloaded onto a Manhattan dock a few weeks ago for a gaggle of auto journalists to drive around. (We missed the call; apparently we were tending our tomato garden that day).
