'camera phone camera', give me a break! At 1:15 you can clearly see the massive camera that the CBS people are carrying in the testing center. Any auto reporter who cares about his job or his publication's access to new GM vehicles would have to be nuts to post images like these. This is another example of a planted 'secret video' from GM... remember how suddenly when C5 sales were slowing a trailer loaded with 'naked' C6s seemed to just appear, and the same w/ the Camaro shots. The Volt will be quite an achievement if they can pull off the exotic battery pack... but I would ask GM to stick to the cars and tell their PR guys to think a bit harder on how to build excitement around their vehicles... maybe one could fall off a trailer... or could crash into my garage (please!), just make sure that the viewing audience does not see the cameras!
