Following a little sneak peek at the production Volt on TV in an interview with ABC, Bob Boniface, Director of Design for Chevrolet Volt, wrote a little piece on GM’s FastLane Blog about the upcoming production version of the plug-in hybrid. Along with some words to let us know how work is progressing on the Volt, Boniface released two teaser images (one of the front and one of the rear) and a video of the Volt testing in the wind-tunnel.

The two images show the design themes carried over from the concept to the production version of the Volt.

“We believe the Chevrolet Volt’s exterior design is an attractive balance between aerodynamic performance and styling,” wrote Boniface. ”If you look closely, you can see the rounded and flushed front fascia, tapered corners and closed grille are aesthetically beautiful and functional, enabling air to move easily around the car.”

Except Honda takes time to test their product before they start to tease people with pictures. I believe this creates a problem that the American Companies have had for years, let's do it before every one and let the Japanese perfect it.
Except in this the Japanese are way ahead and GM like the other American are playing ketch up, which makes even more dangerous for any who are concidering buying the first products. More pressure equal more screw ups.

I can already see the recalls, but I hope I don't see scene from movies like "Demolition Man." You know, the one when Snype causes the electric battery of the car to over capacitate.

That's my two cents anyway, but I won't be surprised if that turns out to be the case.
