THE MODEL V:

Chevy Volt: Out of the Box (David Goodspeed, 12/03/10, Gear Daily)

The technology and intelligence quotient found in the new Chevy Volt far exceeds that of today’s drivers. Yes, I just said this car is smarter than you – and me.

No talk of solar charging panels in the roof of the vehicle just yet but it seems only natural as the Volt roof is already a separate panel from the rest of the body components. Yeah, that will be coming next, mark my words.

Pricing will be around 41 grand but creative adjustments by your CPA coupled with some rebate action by the federal government will bring that down a bit. Initial availability is limited to six markets (including Austin, Texas where we were) with full rollout coming by the end of next year when battery production is increased.

Volt is new, Volt is now and Volt is only a buck fifty a day.
